BiH PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE APPEALED THE COURT’S DECISION TO TERMINATE CUSTODY TO SUSPECTED EMPLOYEES OF THE BIH COURT AND THE BIH PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE

Prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina in charge of the respective case has lodged an Appeal against the Decision of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina terminating the measure of custody against the suspects Nenad Petrović (1966) and Mića Trifković (1969) and ordering prohibitive measures instead.

In its Appeal, the Prosecutor’s Office states the reasons for which these suspects should remain in custody, namely, the risk that, if at large, these suspects could hinder investigation, conceal evidence or influence witnesses or accessories. Among other things, custody is being proposed due to the danger that these suspects, if at large, might finish the already commenced criminal offense, in view of the fact that the exact amount of the stolen cigarettes and mobile phones, or the place where the goods might be stored, have not yet been determined. Due to the aforementioned, the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has lodged an Appeal with the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina requesting that the Decision of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina be revised and the measure of custody be imposed against these suspects. Nenad Petrović (1966) and Mića Trifković (1969) are under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and they are suspected of the continued criminal offense of Embezzlement in Office, as referred to in Article 221 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the criminal offense of Aggravated Theft in co-perpetration. They are suspected with steeling goods (evidence) stored within the judicial complex and selling the goods thus obtaining unlawful financial gain, during a longer period of time, while acting in their respective capacities: Trifković as a driver employed by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Petrović as a clerk specialist for the execution of criminal sanctions and recording of the seized objects in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
