Detention ordered for Jahja Vuković, suspected of terrorism

(Patria) - Jahja Vuković is suspected of committing the criminal offense of organizing a terrorist group in connection with the criminal offense of terrorism.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has issued a decision by which detention has been ordered for Jahja Vuković, suspected of terrorism.

Detention has been ordered due to the risk of flight, the possibility of influencing witnesses, destroying or hiding evidence, fear of re-offending, and disturbing public order.

Detention under this decision can last for a maximum of 30 days, starting from the day of apprehension, i.e., until November 22, or until a different decision by the Court.

Jahja Vuković is suspected of committing the criminal offense of organizing a terrorist group in connection with the criminal offense of terrorism, the BiH Court announced.

As previously announced by the BiH Prosecutor's Office, Vuković is under investigation by that prosecutor's office, and he is suspected of traveling to Syria in 2014 and joining the paramilitary formations of the so-called 'ISIL', which has been declared a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council.
