Hearing for Zukić and Fazlagić closed to the public: Detention decision today

A hearing was held this morning at the Municipal Court in Sarajevo to decide on the proposal of the Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office, which requested a one-month detention for Amir Zukić, the Secretary General of the SDA, and his driver Seid Fazlagić, who were arrested on Friday afternoon, Patria reports.

The hearing was held without the presence of the public at the request of the Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office due to the "interest of witnesses," and the investigation has the status of a business secret. The decision on detention will be made during the day.

Detention for Zukić was proposed due to the risk of influencing witnesses, concealing evidence, and the risk of repeating the criminal offense, and for Sead Fazlagić due to the risk of flight and repeating the criminal offense.

Both Zukić and Fazlagić were arrested in the continuation of Operation Bosna, during which Esed Džananović, director of distribution at Elektroprivreda BiH, Safet Bibić, Ramiz Karavdić, and Nedžad and Senad Trako were arrested.

The Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office charges the five suspects with organizing a group and, using their influence, employing individuals in public companies, health and higher education institutions in the Federation of BiH by demanding and receiving money or other forms of benefit.
