The accused Kosta Simić, born on 30 September 1988 in Gračanica, resident of Modriča, with prior convictions, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has entered into a Plea Agreement admitting guilt for the criminal offenses he is charged with and he has concluded a Plea Agreement with a Prosecutor of the Special Department for Organized Crime, Economic Crime and Corruption of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH.

By virtue of signing the Plea Agreement, the accused Simić has fully admitted committing the criminal offense he is charged with by the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH dated 21 November 2013 which was confirmed by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 28 November 2013.  

Pursuant to this Plea Agreement, the Prosecutor proposes to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to impose a sentence of imprisonment for a term of one (1) year on this accused person.

The proposed sentence is consistent with the role of the accused in the commission of the criminal offense described in the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH. 

As particularly mitigating circumstances in determining the aforementioned sentence of imprisonment, it has been taken into account that the accused admitted guilt unconditionally at the very beginning of the investigation phase, whereby he helped the Prosecutor detect and prove the criminal offense in question, as well as the fact that the accused is a young person, married and a father of one underage child. 

With this Plea Agreement, this accused person confirms to be familiar with the content of the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH. At the same time, he confirms to have entered his plea of guilty voluntarily, consciously and with the full understanding of legal consequences, as well as that he has been informed that he may bear the expenses of the criminal proceedings.   

By signing this Plea Agreement, this accused person agrees to testify as a Prosecution witness before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the criminal matter which is the reason for entering into this Plea Agreement, when summoned to do so by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With this Plea Agreement, this accused person waives his right to a trial and right to appeal to a criminal sanction imposed upon him by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Plea Agreement has been forwarded to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
