The Indictment alleges that the accused transported the migrants towards Mostar, with the intention of their further transfer to the Republic of Croatia and then further to the EU countries, but he was detected in the commission of that criminal offence in the wider area of Mostar, by police officers of the Mostar Police Department.
The aforementioned accused is charged with enabling the unlawful stay of several smuggled persons on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina by transporting them, whereby he committed the criminal offense of Smuggling of Persons, referred to in Article 189, paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Indictment has been forwarded to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it has been confirmed.
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).
