The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has issued an Indictment against Memnun Mustajbegović, charged with the criminal offense of Tax Evasion or Fraud, as referred to in Article 210 of the Criminal Code of BiH.

A Prosecutor of the Department III of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH has issued an Indictment against Memnun Mustajbegović, born on 09 September 1953 in Bugojno, where he also resides, citizen of BiH.

The accused Memnun Mustajbegović is charged, as a Director and a responsible person in the ‘DRVO IZVOZ’ company d.o.o./Limited Liability Company/ Bugojno liable to pay taxes, with making or acquiring fictitious invoices, bills of lading and purchase orders containing false information pertaining to the sale to companies from Kupres and Tomislavgrad, in 2009, although there was no sale carried out with respect to these companies, all for the purpose of evading to pay sales tax on products. This way, he failed to fulfill the requirements for tax exemption pursuant to valid legal provisions of the tax legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

According to the allegations in the Indictment, Memnun Mustajbegović submitted to the Indirect Taxation Authority of BiH tax return forms with false content, thereby reducing his tax liability and evading to pay sales tax on products and services in the amount of BAM 13,821.00, thus damaging the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina in that amount.

The accused Memnun Mustajbegović is charged with evading payment of duties prescribed by tax legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by giving false information about his taxable income, and as the amount of duties evaded exceeds BAM 10,000.00, he thereby committed the criminal offense of Tax Evasion or Fraud, as referred to in Article 210, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Indictment has been forwarded to the Court of BiH for confirmation.
