Bosnia and Herzegovina prosecutors indict two for organized crime

The Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has filed an indictment against Admir Arnautović (46) and Adnan Maglić (41) for involvement in organized crime, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and money laundering.

According to the indictment, between 2019 and 2022, the suspects used the encrypted Sky ECC application to plan and execute the international trafficking of narcotics and weapons across Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union. The illegal substances involved included cocaine, valued between 31,000 and 38,000 euros per kilogram, and hashish, valued between 2,400 and 3,500 euros per kilogram. The charges also include the unauthorized trade of sniper rifles, automatic rifles, and pistols.

Additionally, the suspects are accused of planning to inflict serious bodily harm on a public figure living outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The indictment further alleges money laundering, stating that proceeds from illegal activities were used to purchase real estate, vehicles, and other movable property registered to themselves or close associates. Prosecutors intend to seek the seizure of all illegally acquired assets during the proceedings.
