The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina points out that only with a stricter criminal policy, judicial institutions and law enforcement agencies can successfully fight against corruption and achieve general prevention to reduce its occurrences in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially when it comes to cases in which the highest officials are accused.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina today welcomed the largest sentence imposed for corruption so far, after the final verdict of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the case of Boris Kordić and others, by which the former employees of the Service for Foreign Affairs (SPS) of Bosnia and Herzegovina were sentenced to a total of 21 years in prison (12 .5 and 8.5 years), as well as confiscation of illegal property benefits in the amount of 60,000 BAM.
“The sentence in the pronounced verdict is one of the largest sentences so far for corrupt criminal offenses pronounced in cases handled by the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH and the Court of BiH,” it is stated in a statement from that prosecutor’s office.
