Following the questioning of the suspects, the Assigned Prosecutor filed a motion to the Court of BiH requesting remand in custody for a period of 30 days due to reasons set out in Article 132, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph b) of the CPC BiH.

Remand in custody is, inter alia, requested due to risk that the suspects could destroy, alter or falsify evidence or clues important to the criminal proceedings and due to legitimate fear that the suspects, if released, might hinder the criminal procedure by influencing witnesses, accomplices and accessories, or that they might destroy evidence and clues essential for the proceedings.

Motion for remand in custody was submitted to the Court of BiH and the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH continues the investigation in this case.
