On 11 December 2020, the Court of BiH issued a decision in the case of Ahmed Iftkhar et al. granting the Prosecutor’s Motion of 11 December 2020, and ordered custody of the suspects Ahmed Iftkhar, Sead Mukanović, Hidajet Gaković, Memaga Nuhanović, Zejid Šabić and Hasib Mehić. Under the decision, custody may last for a maximum of one month, running from the day of arrest, meaning from 9 December 2020 to 9 January 2021, or pending another decision of the Court.

The suspects under prohibitive measures are ordered to comply strictly with the orders and summonses issued by the Court, while the control of their justifiability will be carried out on a bi-monthly basis. The suspects under prohibitive measures will be remanded into custody if they breach any of the obligations imposed under Court of BiH decision.
