Americans haven't forgotten the defrauded Alvogen: Nedim Uzunović's dismissal expected

(Patria) - After the BiH Prosecutor's Office finally filed an indictment against Bosnalijek director Nedim Uzunović and 10 other individuals and four companies, accusing them of numerous corrupt acts that harmed Bosnalijek by 5.5 million euros, Uzunović's dismissal from the position of CEO is expected.

This move has been discussed for a long time, ever since Uzunović's arrest, but his dismissal never happened. As Patria learns, the ground is being intensively prepared for Nedim Uzunović's final dismissal, but what is important to emphasize is that the US Embassy is also closely monitoring the entire case.

Therefore, it is especially important to remember 2010 and the subsequent complications, when the American pharmaceutical company Alvogen was defrauded by Bosnalijek, which eventually ended up in Russian hands.
Nermin Nikšić was the Prime Minister of the FBiH Government at the time, just as he is now, so the circle closes. Crime in Bosnalijek began with Nikšić and Minister Erdal Trhulj, and ends with Nikšić's new term at the head of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Government.

Americans have not forgotten the fraud from previous years, so they are closely following the developments concerning Uzunović and also expect his dismissal.

Uzunović hides behind workers: Union without reaction to arrests, company refers to laws!

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Protests by workers were held in front of the Bosnalijek building today, who wanted to convey that this company is allegedly under attack by a group of shareholders who 'illegally' want to take over the management of Bosnalijek, which means that

Uzunović's dismissal has been discussed for over a year, but the Assembly and the Supervisory Board have never managed to bring this matter to a conclusion. However, the indictment is a new development, so it sounds illogical that Uzunović is still running the company in which, according to the Prosecutor's Office, he committed major crimes.

The new indictment is just one in a series related to the siphoning of money and the criminal privatization of this extremely profitable and reputable company, which sells its products in about 20 countries in Europe and the world. Uzunović and his close relatives and associates are accused of participating in organized crime, abuse of position or authority, concluding a harmful contract, and money laundering, which occurred between 2005 and 2016.

The indictment states that the first-accused, Uzunović Nedim, as the beneficial owner of off-shore companies and director of the Representative Office of Bosnalijek d.d. in Moscow, in order to conceal the real source, nature, and origin of the money and to illegally introduce it into legal financial flows, deposited large sums of money into accounts he controlled, as well as accounts of persons close to him, which were subsequently used for various purposes, including the purchase of real estate, shares, vehicles, and other assets.

According to the collected evidence, the accused harmed the company Bosnalijek d.d. Sarajevo in the amount of 10,849,609.43 KM, and acquired illicit property benefit for themselves in the amount of 9,984,508.01 KM, with which money they further disposed of and used in business operations, purchased movable and immovable property in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia, placing the money, which they knew was obtained by committing a criminal offense, into legal financial flows.
