~~Law enforcement operations~~ Police corruption investigation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Law enforcement agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro have conducted various operations targeting drug trafficking, illegal weapons, and traffic violations. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, authorities in the Banjaluka and Zenica regions seized narcotics and ammunition, while Montenegro reported seizures of falsified license plates and an unlicensed pistol. Following these broader enforcement actions, a specific investigation known as the ‘Terminal’ operation led to the arrest of five police officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska. Stationed near Gradiška, these officers are suspected of abusing their authority by fabricating traffic offenses to solicit and receive illegal monetary payments from drivers. As part of the ‘Terminal’ operation, investigators allege that the suspects, including the station commander in Orahova near Gradiška, Bojan Šinik, 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 face internal disciplinary proceedings and will be suspended from duty pending the conclusion of the legal process.
