Searches are being carried out within the case conducted against a suspect for public incitement to terrorist activities (Article 202a of the Criminal Code of BiH), in conjunction with the criminal offence of terrorism (Article 201 of the CC BiH).
Investigative actions conducted by the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH and SIPA showed that the suspect, on several occasions, through various Internet services and communication channels, expressed his racist and anti-Semitic views and sent threats to US citizens.
