Is Bosnia and Herzegovina getting its own "Fimi-media" affair in which Ivo Sanader also fell?

Today's arrests of well-known owners of marketing agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina point to the fact that our country will also get an affair similar to the one in Croatia, "Fimi media", writes the Patria news agency.

Namely, the HDZ and the former head of that party, Ivo Sanader, were found guilty of extracting money from state institutions and companies through the marketing agency Fimi Media, after which the biggest corruption affair in Croatian politics was named.

Thus, Mladen Barišić was sentenced to a total of 3 years, Ratko Maček to one year suspended, Branka Pavošević to one year and six months, and Nevenka Jurak to two years in prison. In addition to the prison sentence, Sanader will also have to return a total of 15.27 million kuna. For the first time in history, a political party was also found guilty - the HDZ will lose a total of as much as 30 million kuna.

Precisely because of the parallel events in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, citizens are asking on social networks whether this is the beginning of the end for the man who, through MITA, a marketing agency, extracted money from public companies headed by the SDA. At the head of MITA is Ejub Kučuk, who is returning from Austria, after hearing that he is one of the suspects.

Incidentally, it is known that MITA ran election campaigns for the SDA for both local and general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the other hand, the SDP used the marketing services of the agency S.V.R.S.A, whose owner Neven Kulenović is charged with criminal acts of organized crime.

In this morning's operation "Gibraltar", members of SIPA arrested seven people: Sanjin Kulenović, Neven Kulenović, Belma Kulenović, Lajla Torlak, Darko Aleksić, Stipe Prlić, and Zoran Bakula. Two suspects, Senad Zaimović and Ejub Kučuk, are outside Bosnia and Herzegovina. All are suspected of criminal acts of organized crime, in connection with abuse of position or authority, concluding harmful contracts, tax evasion, money laundering, and illegal transactions in multi-million amounts, it was said at today's press conference at SIPA.
