It is alleged against the accused that in the period from September to 21 December 2020, acting as an organised criminal group, they were involved in illicit international sales, transfers, transportation, keeping, intermediation in further international sales and purchases of narcotic drugs, that they repeatedly procured larger quantities of the narcotic drugs “cannabis” and synthetic drugs “speed” and transported them from the territory of the Republic of Albania to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and make further sales of the narcotic drugs.

According to the collected evidence and the results of the investigation, it follows that the accused Mirza Hodžić and Enes Kantić organised and managed the organised group, and that the other accused, who intended to acquire illegal property gain in the same way and who, to this end and led by the same interests, became members of the organised group in which they decisively contributed to its operation and had certain roles and tasks in it.

The accused most often used coded terms that indicated the type, quantity and price of narcotic drugs, as well as the place and time of their meeting in order to collect and pay the price for the purchased narcotic drug “cannabis” and the synthetic drug “speed”.

During the searches, certain quantities of narcotic drugs and money were found and seized, as well as scales for precise measurement.

The indictment includes a motion that witnesses and expert witnesses be heard and is accompanied by extensive evidence, including documentation on the seized items.

The accused are charged with the criminal offence of Illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs under Article 195 (2) of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as read with paragraph (1) thereof.

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