The two persons accused as part of the case conducted against one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina have entered into a Plea Agreement admitting guilt for participation in the criminal offenses of organized crime, criminal organization, aggravated robbery and first degree murder.
The following accused persons have entered into the respective Plea Agreement:
- Edin Ahmetspahić, born in 11 March 1978 in Sarajevo, and
- Sead Robović, born on 14 June 1980 in Sarajevo.
The accused have signed their Plea Agreements in the presence of the Prosecutor in charge of the case and their Defense Attorneys, thus fully admitting the commission of the criminal offenses they are charged with by the Indictment issued in the case of Bojan Cvijan et al. The Prosecutor agrees that the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentence each of these accused persons to five (5) years of imprisonment, in accordance with this Plea Agreement.
The proposed sentences are consistent with the role these accused persons had in the commission of the criminal offenses they are charged with.
With this Plea Agreement, these accused persons have committed themselves to a full and truthful testimony before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the case against other accused persons, on the circumstances of all of the committed criminal offenses.
By virtue of signing these Plea Agreements, the accused persons have waived their right to appeal to the Verdict pronounced against them by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with these Plea Agreements.
These Plea Agreements will be a significant contribution to the evidentiary proceedings and establishing the entire truth regarding the criminal offenses described in the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with police agencies and its partner institutions, continues its struggle against organized crime and resumes its activities aimed at detecting unresolved serious crimes committed in the post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina.
