SIPA police officers handed over suspect Adnan Ćatić, born in 1988 in Zenica, to the BiH Prosecutor’s Office in the afternoon.
That suspect is under investigation and is accused of having participated in the foreign battlefields of Syria and Iraq, where he operated in the structures of the so-called “ISIL”, which was declared a terrorist organization by the UN Security Council.
The suspect is accused of having joined the structures of “ISIL” at the age of about 25 and spent about ten years in the Middle East. He is one of the suspects with the longest stay in the said area.
“After questioning the suspect, the acting prosecutor from the Department of Terrorism of the BiH Prosecutor’s Office will send a proposal to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to determine a detention measure, among other things, because this is a suspect who was unavailable to the judicial authorities of BiH for a long period of time.
The Prosecutor’s Office of BiH and partner institutions and law enforcement agencies in BiH and abroad are carrying out activities aimed at locating, extraditing and prosecuting several persons who, in the past period, stayed on foreign battlefields with the aim of their deportation and criminal prosecution in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” it was announced from the BiH Prosecutor’s Office.
