MOTION TO EXTEND CUSTODY FOR SUSPECT DARKO ELEZ (1980)
28.05.2021. 08:35The extension of custody is requested due to the risk of flight and the risk that by being at large the suspect might obstruct the investigation, conceal evidence and influence witnesses or accomplices, as well as repeat the criminal offence or complete the initiated one.
A prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH sent a motion to the Court of BiH to extend custody for Elez Darko for another three months.
In this case, the Prosecutor’s Office, together with partner institutions and agencies, is conducting an intensive investigation into organised crime offences related to several offences committed in the area of East Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Custody was requested to ensure conditions for the unhindered conduct of the investigation in this case.
