SARAJEVO, July 29 (FENA) - The Municipal Court in Sarajevo today handed down the first-instance verdicts at the trial for abuse of position during employment in public companies to former high-ranking officials in the "Bosna" case. Amir Zukić was sentenced to three years in prison by the first-instance verdict, and Asim Sarajlić was acquitted of all charges.
Defendant Safet Bibić was sentenced to six years in prison, Senad Trako to one year and six months, Ramiz Karavdić to two years, and former executive director of Elektroprivreda Bosnia and Herzegovina Esed Džananović to three years. Nedžad Trako was acquitted of charges. There is a possibility of appeal against the first-instance verdict.
The Municipal Court in Sarajevo passed the first-instance verdict after the main trial in this case ended at the beginning of July, with the presentation of the closing arguments of the defense of Esed Džananović and Asim Sarajlić, whose lawyers requested acquittals for them.
The Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Sarajevo then requested that Amir Zukić, Asim Sarajlić and five other defendants be convicted of abuses committed in 2016 during employment in public enterprises based on party ties and giving money.
The prosecution assessed that it had previously proven the responsibility of Zukić, Sarajlić, as well as Safet Bibić, Senad and Nedžad Trako, Ramiz Karavdić and Esed Džananović for illegal employment mediation, abuse of position and receiving a reward or other form of benefit for influence peddling.
According to the indictment, during 2016, Zukić and Bibić organized a group joined by Nedžad and Senad Trako and Karavdić, who found people willing to give money for employment in branches of "Elektrodistribucija" at "Elektroprivreda BiH". After that, according to the indictment, using their influence, they implemented illegal employment in "Elektroprivreda" through Esed Džananović.
