APPEAL SUBMITTED AGAINST DECISION ON CANCELLED PROHIBITION MEASURES IN NOVALIĆ ET AL. CASE

 The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH filed an appeal with the Criminal Chamber of the Court of BiH against the decision of the Preliminary Proceedings Judge of that Court revoking the prohibitive measures against the suspects Fadil Novalić, Fahrudin Solak and Fikret Hodžić in the “Respirators” case, which were imposed ex officio by the Court of BiH, and not at a motion of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH.

The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH filed an appeal against the said decision because the Court of BiH completely failed to determine whether the prohibitive measures fulfilled the purpose for which they were imposed, since the Court of BiH previously determined the existence of circumstances on the part of the suspects indicating that they could obstruct the criminal proceeding through contacts with witnesses, and then ex officio imposed prohibitive measures to eliminate these circumstances.
