Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton requested detention for four accomplices of Sanjin Sefić

The Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton today submitted a proposal to the Cantonal Court for ordering detention for four suspects for aiding Sanjin Sefić during his escape from Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirmed for Patria by Azra Bavčić, spokesperson of the Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton. On the evening of October 10, Sefić hit two girls with his vehicle, who later died, and Sefić fled the scene.

Members of the Ministry of Interior of Sarajevo Canton arrested on Monday three suspects for aiding Sanjin Sefić in his escape, including his sister Sara Sefić. The fourth person who was being sought was arrested on Tuesday and was handed over to the Prosecutor's Office of Sarajevo Canton this morning.

The Cantonal Court in Sarajevo should make a decision during tomorrow's day.

He was arrested late on the evening of October 11 and is in extradition detention in Novi Sad. The Higher Court in Novi Sad is still awaiting documentation from the Ministry of Justice of Serbia regarding his extradition to the Bosnian judiciary.
