Prosecutor’s Office proposes Extension of Custody for Humanitarian Almir Cehajic

The Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor’s Office has proposed to the Sarajevo Cantonal Court to extend the custody of the suspect Almir Cehajic Batko for another two months.

This information was confirmed by Azra Bavcic, a spokeswoman for the Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office, who said that the extension of custody was proposed due to the danger that the suspect could repeat the crime.

Almir Cehajic was arrested on October 20 as part of the “Network” operation, and he is suspected of abusing his position or authority and money laundering. Cehajic is charged with illegally acquiring close to 625 thousand BAM, but also with disposing of loans on behalf of the company “City – Otvorena mreza” from Sarajevo, which, according to the investigators, caused more than 50 thousand BAM in damage to the said company, Klix.ba writes.
