Salamović and Sulejmanović Handed Over to the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office, Prosecutor to Decide on Further Measures After Questioning

(Patria) - Suspects Nijaz Salamović and Reuf Sulejmanović have been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office. They will be held for 24 hours, and within that legal timeframe, the presiding prosecutor will decide on further measures, the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office announced.

Salamović, who is the director of the public utility company "Rad," and Reuf Sulejmanović, former president of the Supervisory Board, were arrested on Monday. Six other individuals are under investigation in this case, including the former director of the company and members of the Supervisory Board of this public utility company.

They are suspected of having unlawfully appointed Salamović first as executive director and then as director of the company over the past three years, even though he did not meet the requirements for these positions. The appointment was made despite warnings from the Anti-Corruption Office about irregularities in the appointment process. Thus, Salamović, who is suspected of having fabricated his length of service and work experience in managerial positions throughout the process, was enabled to obtain an illegal benefit of around 120,000 marks, which he gained by performing functions he could not and should not have performed.
