In the continuation of this action ordered by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, narco-crime structures are further uncovered.

As part of further activities within the action codenamed ‘Recidivist’, aimed at detecting and prosecuting organized narco-crime structures operating in Brčko and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, police officers of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) and Brčko District Police arrested the suspect Srđan Krndija, born in 1990 in Banjaluka, upon the order of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Also, operational work and investigative activities yielded information about possible locations hiding a larger quantity of narcotic drug; consequently, additional searches were carried out, as a result of which, more than two kilograms of Heroin narcotic drug was found, with the approximate value of BAM 100,000 in the illegal drug market, which makes it one of the largest seizures of Heroine in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past period.

As part of this action, significant cooperation has been established with partner institutions of the Republic of Serbia.

Investigative activities continue, and persons subject to investigation have been suspected to have committed the criminal offenses of Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs, respectively.
