Otherwise, the suspect Zijad Mutap and his daughter Alisa did not attend the sentencing today.

The indictment charged the defendants with having committed the criminal offense of organized crime related to criminal offenses, illegal mediation, assisting the perpetrator after the criminal offense has been committed, preventing evidence and giving a false statement.
Reminder of the first-instance judgment
The first-instance, acquittal verdict, the court panel led by judge Branko Perić was passed on November 24, 2022, but the Appellate Panel of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina canceled it at the request of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which initiated the second-instance proceedings.
The second-instance proceedings were led by judge Staniša Gluhajić, and what marked it was the testimony of the doctors who worked on this case while he was working in the cantonal prosecutor’s office, Kemal Dizdarević and Hamza Žujo.
Today’s verdict ended the court proceedings that began on July 21, 2021, when the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is also one of the cases that attracted a lot of public attention, and the family of the injured young man, father Muriz and sister Arijana, during the entire duration of this case, i.e. since the death of Dženan, said that justice is slow, but attainable and they did not lose hope, Klix.ba reports.
