The accused are charged with having committed, while acting as an organized criminal group from 2006 to 2012, a series of criminal offenses related to financial crime, tax evasion and fraud, as well as money laundering during import of a large amount of textile goods, transported by trucks, in BiH. The aforementioned goods were imported with multiply reduced customs and tax duties, which enabled the accused and their associates to obtain unlawful gain in the amount of about BAM 8.5 million, and that is the amount of damages caused to the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina and therefore to all citizens of our country.
The indictment in this case created the conditions for the prosecution of other suspects from operation Pandora.
The public and the citizens need to know that the case against Anes Sadiković et al. concerns the criminal offenses committed over a period of several years as well as that the evidence includes tens of thousands of pages of documents, which is why the investigation in this case was long and extensive.
The indictment and evidence were sent to the Court of BiH for confirmation.
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).
