On 25 June 2013, acting upon orders from the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Prosecutor’s office BH, members of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), in a joint operation with members of the Indirect Taxation Authority BH, initiated searches at four locations in Central Bosnia Canton, with the assistance from members of members of Central Bosnia Canton Ministry of Interior.
In the framework of these activities, searches were carried out at two petrol stations and two business buildings in Fojnica and Kiseljak, as well as vehicles used by legal and physical persons, due to suspicion of having committed a criminal offence set out in the Article 210 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina “Tax Evasion and Fraud”, in conjunction with trade in oil and oil products.
The searches are on-going and the evidential material found will be seized for an expert analysis and use in further procedure.
The operation is aimed at proving suspicion that certain individuals in a position of responsible persons of legal subjects involved in the trade of oil and oil products developed fake documentation and carried out the so called fictitious trade damaging the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the amount exceeding BAM 270.000.
The activities in the framework of this case will be continued and the public will be duly informed about the outcomes.
