After the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo rejected the proposal of the KS Prosecutor’s Office to order a one-month detention for the tram driver, the acting prosecutors, respecting the court’s position, since it established that there is a reasonable suspicion that the driver committed the serious act of endangering public traffic through negligence with fatal consequences, continued to intensively undertake evidence in the investigation of the tram accident, which is being worked on by a team of prosecutors from the Department for General and Economic Crime and Corruption.
The investigation is being conducted in several directions, with a special emphasis on the technical correctness of the tram.
So far, 30 witnesses have been heard, with the exception of 10 video surveillance recordings from all surrounding facilities, including video surveillance footage from BH Telecom, the National Museum, the Technical School and footage from the tram cabin. All these videos are currently undergoing forensic processing. Also, extensive documentation related to the reconstruction of the complete tram line and the signal plans of all relevant intersections, which will be expertized, have been removed from the Ministry of Transport of the Canton of Sarajevo.
Evidence is collected with the aim of comprehensive expertise in the mechanical, traffic and electric power professions.
Otherwise, the dynamics of work on this case will depend on the speed of action of the investigators of police agencies, experts, other law enforcement agencies and on the issuing of orders by the competent court that are necessary for any evidence actions in the field, the KS Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office reported.
