Bosnian Prosecutor Slams Media Fraud Suspects’ Release

The Prosecutor's Office said on Monday that it would complain about the state court's decision not to remand the suspects in the so-called ‘Gibraltar' case in custody.

"The prosecutor will also demand a temporary measure - the sequestration of all the suspects' property, their movable and immovable property and the freezing of their accounts during the [legal] process," it said.

The nine suspects were released on Friday after the court decided not to remand them in custody ahead of the trial.

Bosnia's state prosecutor has demanded a month's detention for nine people arrested on suspicion on gaining over 5 million euro from money laundering, evading taxes and fictional, falsified agreements.
