Pursuant to an order by a Prosecutor from the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, police officers of the Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina have deprived of liberty five police officers- employees of the Border Police Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the International Border Crossing of Bosanski Brod.

The aforementioned suspects are being investigated for corruption offenses, and they are suspected of allowing illegal crossing of the state border for monetary compensation, across the border crossing point, and of requesting and receiving a monetary gift for themselves so as not to perform the actions which they would have to perform as part of their duties.
