On 20 September 2024 the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the Indictment in the case of Denis Stojnić (S1 2 K 044279 24 Ko), charging the accused Denis Stojnić with the criminal offense of Accepting Reward or Other Forms of Benefit for Trading in Influence under Article 219(1) CC BiH, as read with Article 29 and Article 54 of the Code.

The accused is, inter alia, charged that, between 3 March 2021 and late October 2022, in the territory of Canton Sarajevo, after the BiH Service for Foreigners’ Affairs established that two persons, M.S.A.A. and A.S.A.B., posed a national security i.e. public system, order and peace threat, with the intent to obtain financial ill-gotten gain, using an honorary accreditation pass card of the Intelligence-Security Agency (OSA), as well as through continual and direct and indirect contacts with the former OSA Director, O.M., he demanded and received from them money in the amounts of 25,000.00 EUR and 24,000.00 KM, in order to use his actual clout in relation to O.M. as an official person at an institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to intercede that O.M., in his capacity of OSA BiH Director, should order the initiation of a new security check procedure within the service, and to make sure that those checks show that the two foregoing foreign citizens do not pose a national security i.e. public system, order and peace threat, and thus prevent their being expelled or removed from BiH
