A hearing will be held in the Court of BiH today at the trial of Darko Elez, accused of organized crime, it was announced on the website of this court.
At the beginning of March, after Darko Elez was extradited from Serbia to BiH, it was decided that his detention could not be ordered due to the “Puppet” case, but his detention was ordered due to criminal acts documented by the Republika Srpska Ministry of Interior.
Elez is awaiting trial before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on charges of a number of crimes in East Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, including mafia murders, extortion, intimidation and other crimes, and was extradited from Serbia, where he lived after serving a prison sentence in Serbia.
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.
