He was found guilty of organised crime, illicit production and trafficking in narcotic drugs, illicit trafficking in weapons, military equipment and dual-use products, as well as illicit production and trafficking in weapons and explosives.
The accused pleaded guilty and was convicted of the criminal offences he committed in the period between late 2018 and mid-2019 in such a way that he organised a group of people, contacted its members and informed them of the smuggling of previously obtained explosives and narcotic drugs, which he would cover up and transport from Bosnia and Herzegovina across interstate borders to known customers in Austria.
Within the same case, the judiciary of the Republic of Austria prosecuted the accused persons who are in that country.
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).
