Mrkva Case: Supreme Court of FBiH Upholds Prosecution's Appeal Against Lifting of Detention for Two Suspects

The Supreme Court of FBiH has upheld the Appeal of the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton filed against the Decision of the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo which lifted the detention of suspects Adnan Mrkva and Amel Ćapina, announced the Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton, reports the Patria news agency.

The Supreme Court of FBiH states that the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo, in its Decision, completely inaccurately presents the positions of the Supreme Court of FBiH.

Namely, the Supreme Court of FBiH in its decision emphasizes that it did not take the position that the evidence obtained through the application of special investigative measures is illegal, and reiterates that it is completely incorrect that the Supreme Court of FBiH upheld the defense's objections regarding the legality of ordering special investigative measures and the legality of the search of the business premises of "Mrkva Group" d.o.o. Sarajevo.

The Supreme Court of FBiH has quashed the Decision of the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo and returned the case for a new decision with the instruction that the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo, after a careful and conscientious assessment of all relevant facts and evidence, render a correct and legally based decision, the statement reads.
