Police officers arrested in Bosnia and Herzegovina in Operation Terminal

Operation Terminal Republika Srpska police corruption Gradiška bribery

Five police officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska have been arrested as part of an operation codenamed “Terminal”. The suspects, including the station commander in Orahova near Gradiška, Bojan Šinik, are accused of abusing their official positions.

Investigators allege that the officers misled drivers during traffic controls by falsely claiming they had outstanding offenses in official records. The officers reportedly demanded and received bribes, ranging from 20 KM to 100 EUR, to “erase” these non-existent violations from the system.

The operation was conducted by the Administration for Organized and Serious Crime of the MUP RS in cooperation with the Gradiška Police Administration, under the supervision of the District Public Prosecutor's Office in Banja Luka. The arrested officers will face internal disciplinary proceedings and will be suspended from duty pending the conclusion of the legal process.
