CUSTODY MOTION FILED FOR ONE PERSON SUSPECTED OF ORGANIZED CRIME
25.02.2013. 15:05Remand in custody was requested for Danilo CICOVIĆ (1977), born and residing in Pale, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The above mentioned suspect was deprived of liberty on February 20, 2013 at about 4:00 p.m. in Pale by authorized officers of the Sarajevo Canton MoI, the Republika Srpska MoI and State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA).
Following the questioning of the suspect, the Assigned Prosecutor filed a motion with the Court of BiH to remand the person into custody for a period of 30 days.
The Prosecutor requested custody of the suspect Danilo CICOVIĆ on grounds stipulated in Article 132, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs a), b) and c) of the CPC BiH.
Among other things, custody was requested due to risk of flight, the risk that the suspect could suppress evidence, influence witnesses or accomplices in order to disable the collection of evidence and to hinder the investigation, as well as due to grounded suspicion that the suspect, if released, would repeat the criminal offense or commit a similar one.
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).
