This group for organized crime was organized and managed by Vlado Delić and Ivo Mrkić (Dragan Pranjić), whereas other accused persons joined that group and had certain roles within that group, in terms of Article 1, Paragraph 20 of the BiH CC.
For the purpose of acquiring unlawful material gain, suspects Vlado Delić and Ivo Mrkić (Dragan Pranjić) planned and organized procurement of construction work machines acquired by fraud or misappropriation from legal persons in the territories of the Federal Republic of Germany, Republic of Italy, Republic of Austria and the Kingdom of Belgium, from the following accused persons: Aleksandar Ahmetović, Milan Jovanović, Danijel Marković or Ernad Nukić, Ivica Marković, Pejo Marković, Bojan Tomić or other unknown persons. Afterwards, the accused persons Vlado Delić and Ivo Mrkić (Dragan Pranjić) planned and organized transport of the construction work machines from the aforementioned states to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and also planned and organized forgery of documents and activities related to the freight forwarding and customs clearance of the construction work machines; they also organized transport of the construction work machines within the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a place to put them, as well as their sale. With the funds acquired by these criminal offenses, Vlado Delić and Ivo Mrkić (Dragan Pranjić) covered all the expenses of the suspected members of the group who were direct executors of frauds and misappropriations of the construction work machines abroad.
As alleged in the Indictment, the suspects were misappropriating construction work machines abroad or renting them from legal persons dealing with sale and rental of the construction work machines; they would introduce themselves by using false names and afterwards receive electronic or other forms of false invoices pertaining to the purchase of the construction work machines. The suspects Vlado Delić, Ivo Mrkić (Dragan Pranjić) and Ljiljana Pranjić were making these invoices with the assistance of Božidar Kundert and then altering them by changing the data related to its price and entering several times lower figures of the selling price of the construction work machines; they were also entering new data on the importers of the construction work machines from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Then they would hire and pay the hauliers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Slovenia, Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia to bring in the aforementioned construction work machines; the hauliers would then be met at some customs offices by the designated members of the organized group. These members would then take over the false invoices and other documents from the hauliers and submit them to the forwarding agents for the purpose of making a Single Administrative Document. On the basis of the thus presented lower price, the customs officers were calculating lower tariff in the Single Administrative Document for the customs clearance of the aforementioned construction work machines. After the customs clearance, the construction work machines were being transported to the end customer in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
