The Prosecutor’s Office of the Canton of Sarajevo requested the extension of detention for Ibrahim Hadžibajrić and Alma Destanović for another three months, Alem Hamzić, the spokesman of this judicial institution, confirmed to the media.
The reasons for the extension of detention are the same as in the earlier requests.
“Detention was requested because both could repeat the crime, and Hadžibajrić could influence the witnesses. Also, there is a fear for Alma that she could flee Bosnia and Herzegovina because she has another citizenship,” explained Hamzić.
The CS Prosecutor’s Office charges them with organized crime, abuse of position or authority, money laundering, and receiving and giving gifts.
It is suspected that from 2019 to May 2023, Ibrahim Hadžibajrić and Elmedin Karišik organized and managed a criminal group whose members were Alma Destanović, Seid Hadžibajrić and other persons.
Individual members of the group communicated with each other through the installed Sky application, in order to cover their tracks and ultimately arrange the commission of criminal acts.
So, they are accused of illegally leasing parking spaces in the area of the Stari Grad Municipality for at least three companies over which they had control and illegally earned hundreds of thousands of convertible marks.
Suspect Hadžibajrić is additionally charged with the illegal allocation of real estate to a person from the Stari Grad area, from whom he received a bribe in the amount of 150,000 BAM.
