The seizure was carried out in the area of Neum, after which a search was conducted and one person, a citizen of the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, was deprived of liberty.
The smuggling was discovered during the inspection of a tank with license plates from Dubrovnik, which was transporting narcotic drugs from the Republic of Montenegro to the Republic of Croatia; the drug was intended for the Western drug market.
The thus seized amount of the “skunk” marijuana narcotic drug represents the largest quantity of drugs seized in the last few years and it reaches the value of one million in the illegal drug market.
After examining the suspect, the Prosecutor in charge of this case will make a decision whether to file a motion for custody or for prohibiting measures in accordance with the law.
This action demonstrates the determination of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and police agencies in our country to oppose international organized criminal groups which smuggle large quantities of narcotics.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues with its intensive investigation in this case.
This announcement does not prejudice the outcome of the criminal proceedings and does not violate the principle of the presumption of innocence. A person shall be considered innocent of a crime until guilt has been established by a final verdict (Article 3, paragraph 1 of the CPC BiH).
