Tuzla Prosecutor's Office indicts seven over fatal pensioner home fire

The Tuzla Cantonal Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against seven individuals following a fatal fire at the Tuzla Pensioner's Home. The tragedy, which occurred last year, resulted in the deaths of between 15 and 17 residents and left more than 30 people injured.

The indictment targets former director Mirsad Bakalović, Zinaida Razić Halilović, a service head, and Mustafa Azabagić, a fire safety official. Additionally, three members of the technical team from the company Inproz Tuzla and a fire safety inspector have been charged.

Prosecutors allege that the accused failed to implement mandatory fire protection and social safety measures, despite knowing the facility was a high-risk building housing vulnerable, often immobile, elderly residents. Bakalović faces additional charges for abuse of position and authority.
