23.06.2021. 11:08The prosecutor of the Prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH working on the case has sent to the Court of BiH a motion for extension of the custody measure against two suspects, Zijad Mutap and Hasan Dupovac.
The custody measure is required to ensure the unhindered conducting of the investigation into the death of young man Dženan Memić in February 2016.
The custody has been sought for the reasons described in Article 132 (1) (b) and (d) of the Criminal Procedure Code of BiH, i.e. because of a risk that by being at large the suspects might obstruct the investigation, conceal evidence and influence witnesses or accomplices, as well as because the release of the suspects would cause disturbance of the public and citizen.
The team of prosecutors of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH conducting this investigation, together with partner institutions and agencies, is undertaking intensive investigative activities in this case.
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).
