On 31 August 2010 the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) issued a Decision in the Milenko Topalović et al. case ordering the suspect Milenko Topalović into one-month custody. Pursuant to this Decision their custody may last until 28 September 2010. Milenko Topalović is suspected of the criminal offence of Organized Crime in conjunction with the criminal offence of Illegal Trafficking in Arms and Military Equipment.

 

Having examined the submitted evidence, the Court concluded that there is grounded suspicion that the suspect committed the criminal offences he has been charged with. The Court ordered the suspect into custody given that there are circumstances suggesting the risk of his flight. In addition, the Court ordered the suspect into custody having found that there are particular circumstances indicating that, if released, he might hinder the inquiry by influencing witnesses and accomplices.
