THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE OF BIH CARRIES OUT ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE CASE OF CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IN LARGER AMOUNTS OF FIREARMS AMMUNITION

The prosecutor working on the case, together with an investigator, is in the field coordinating the activities of SIPA police officers in the case of illicit trafficking in large quantities of ammunition for various weapons, in the operation codenamed “Bullet”, which are also connected with the deprivation of a suspected police officer working with the FBiH Federation Police Administration of his freedom.

The activities are being conducted as part of the investigation into the corruption activities and abuse of office by the said employee and are related to the illicit trafficking in large quantities of ammunition for firearms intended for the illegal market.

There is a suspicion that the Federation Police Administration (FUP) employee, who was otherwise in charge of procurement and storage of ammunition, committed through abuse and embezzlement in office the criminal offence of illicit trafficking by illicitly trafficking several thousand (about 7,500) pieces of ammunition for firearms, the procurement and trade of which is prohibited to citizens and which were intended for placement on the illegal arms market and the acquisition of illegal property.

The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, partner institutions and law enforcement agencies are taking intensive activities in the fight against corruption behaviour and abuse of office in BiH institutions.

Investigative activities are continuing intensively.
