The custody measure was proposed for the reasons described in Article 132 (b) and (d) of the Criminal Procedure Code BiH, that is, because of the risk that the suspect might obstruct the investigation, conceal evidence and influence witnesses or accomplices, as well as because the release of the suspect would cause disturbance among the public and citizens.
The motion was forwarded to the Court of BiH where a hearing on the motion will be held during the day.
