16.06.2017. 13:29
The accused, Goran Jovanović (1964) and Alen Jahić (1978), have been sentenced to six years in prison each while Jаhić has been sanctioned by a fine amounting KM (BAM) 50,000 and confiscation of his expensive Porsche car.
The real estate, garage, as well as €85,000 of unlawful material gain have been confiscated from the accused Jovanović.
This judgment is a significant step in the fight against organised crime, resulting in the confiscation of illegally gained property worth several hundreds of thousands of KM (BAM).
Significant international cooperation has been provided in this case, as these were crimes with international elements.
Once the prosecutor on the case from the Special Department for Organised Crime, Economic Crime and Corruption receives a written copy of the judgment, they will analyse it and make a decision whether to file an appeal and request a more severe punishment.
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).
