Increase in illegal loans in FBiH, 30 cases reported to FUP in first six months of 2015.

The largest number of economic crime offenses in the Federation of BiH in the first six months of this year relates to deception in obtaining loans and other benefits, according to a report by the Federal Police Administration, reports the BiH news agency Patria.

The Federal Police Administration registered 70 economic crime offenses from January to June this year, which is an increase of 25 offenses, or 55 percent, compared to the same period last year. Of the total 70 offenses, as many as 30 relate to the illegal granting of loans.

Banks in BiH are increasingly facing problems due to granting loans that do not have adequate coverage.

Bobar Banka from Banja Luka did not survive malversations during the granting of multi-million dollar suspicious loans, which were mainly backed by businessmen financing the ruling SNSD, writes Patria.
