The accused Darko Elez pleaded guilty in full to the criminal offenses charged in the indictment in the case code-named “Puppet”.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH, the accused was sentenced to 15 years in prison, as the most severe punishment within the plea agreement for organized crime in the history of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Court of BiH.
Elez has been confirmed in the “Puppet” indictment, which charges him with organized crime in connection with several serious crimes, including aggravated murder, attempted murder, money laundering and other crimes committed in the period from 2005 to 2009.
Extradition on these charges was previously rejected by the courts, because the extradition agreement between Serbia and BiH was not in force at that time.
