Members of the Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) BiH in the area of Sarajevo, East Novi Sarajevo, Pale and East Stari Grad continue to conduct searches of business and residential buildings and movable property and temporarily confiscate documentation at more than 40 locations due to falsification of land ownership.
The activities are undertaken within the framework of the operational action “Square” due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that in the area of Sarajevo Canton and beyond, from 2009 until today, an organized group of people undertook illegal activities in order to obtain illegal property benefits.
By abusing their position and falsifying documents in such a way that they falsified ownership of land, they sold a large number of properties that could not be sold in the area of the Sarajevo Canton, in accordance with the current legal regulations, thereby gaining a large illegal property benefit. These actions were carried out by the members of the group with the help and involvement of several lawyers and notaries, on the basis of which registrations were made of the ownership of other persons who are not the real owners and they were resold to third parties, SIPA announced.
So far, a larger amount of money has been blocked and temporarily confiscated.
