Finally, the Special Department of the Prosecution of the Entities of the Federation of BiH for the fight against corruption and organized and intercantonal crime was finally begun. Can he and will he justify no expectations?
EXACTLY 100 years ago, Eliot Ness graduated in political science and business administration at the Chicago University, and only a year later he joined the U.S. Ministry of Finance, working with 1,000 members of the Chicago Office. It is that Office for Prohibition of a Federation Department of the Entity of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Fight against the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina corruption And organized and intercantonal crime, who started working a few days ago. It would be pretentious to expect “some Bosnian” Eliot Ness, but it is not disputed that they needed persistent and bridge fighters against thieves and the kidnappers of everything that comes in hand.
About Eliot Nesso and his “untouchable” are printed and told millions of texts and testimony, film series and film hits were filmed (a little of them who did not look Untouchables Briana de Palme from 1987. year, with Kevin Costner, Nira in the main roles), his epic fight against crime and corruption became a form of what people of the law should be – brave, determined, honest, persistent and unburable.
When people like him and his team do their job properly, criminals and mobs type Alphonse – Al Capone (sent to Jail for 11 years) in perception become – criminals and human scum, and police officers a la Eliot Ness symbols of justice, honesty and respect.
Bh. The popup from which we expect (not) possible
But let’s go back to our (we hope) “untouchable” and successful and their start in the premises of the former economic bank, Sarajevo, working in limited capacity, as the special department of personnel, materially and technically is not fully equipped. This was also seen when the “high-speed opening” and unclaimed areas, new work desks, “Cabinets” and “Camers” and “Spritiers” and “Projects are sentenced to failure, because of a total of about 50 employees, investigators, advisors … He is currently working for 15, but who will comfortably comfortable with lifelong innocents and eternal pessimists.
The process of work of the Special Department, the Žargon called popsk, is undoubtedly projected on a long run, on a difficult administrative and factual struggle with corruption and organized crime, a plague that has overcome all Bosnian segments and spaces. Limitability of action Only on the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina can be somewhat limiting a factor, but there is so much “materials” to do that employees in a special department do not need to worry about going to have work. Therefore, they claim, they did not want to sit and wait for the “logistics” to be completed, but they started doing what they were elected and paid for.
“In accordance with the existing capacities, we seek the most efficient solutions, and we have been most urgent, according to the Prosecutor’s Sarajevo, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Sarajevo Proposal. The following are already open investigations. We will invest the maximum efforts to complete and then we would have a clearer picture. About the total number of cases. Currently, this number ranges between 400 and 450 “, the first steps of the Chief People of the Special Department have announced optimistic.
List for ‘pride’ – penertic in Europe, 108. In the world
When will it be the first results in which the first results of BH will arrive. The “Federal Investigation Bureau” is ungrateful, even impossible, announced and expected, but without full support of the complete society, there will be difficult to expect results. It is undoubted that the highest resistance will arrive exactly the years that this body does not start working, but from the special department, they are especially appealed to give them trust and address them without hesitation and submit criminal charges for acts from their competence. And the citizens, in this case the inhabitants of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not only – by reporting and submitting criminal charges – but also will not help with its voice in the elections (only) a special department, but mostly for themselves.
The significant input in a special department expects both the media and the non-governmental sector, which report and warn that corruption and organized crime for years “hold” the most corrupt countries in the world and announce that this “planetary success”. In the last research of Transparency International for 2024. year (CPI perception index), in which the “BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA (108) from the maximum index 100 arrived up to 35,” Function of the countries of Podsaharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Construction, Real Estate and the banking sector are among the most vulnerable areas when it comes to risk of laundry in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and among risky areas are both crypto, notaries of that game of happiness. This recently estimated domestic (state) authorities and the global initiative against transnational crime, claiming that the annual value washed Money in Bosnia and Herzegovina is between 402 million and a billion euros. Here is a call and guideline to ask what to pay attention, but it is only a fraction of a well-beaten path that has been irretrievably disappearing dozenses (some claim and hundreds of) billions of euros.
There was only one al Capone in Chicago, and with us …
There is no significant country or financial organization that has not sent its experts, prosecutors, police and foreign officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina, if they did not completely abolish, at least reduced the devastating impact of corruption and organized crime. We know the results of these attempts, show that whitening and painful research of relevant world agencies and organizations, but the only worse solution from indifference and lethargy is that nothing is tried. Therefore, the beginning of the work of the special department – for now focused and “limited” to 51 percent, maybe one day is “from Una to the Drina and from the sea to the Sava” – the opportunity to give a chance.
In just five years, Eliot Ness and a dozen “untouchable” were successful of mafia in Chicago on a marginal phenomenon, and her “godfather” Ala Capone in 1931. place behind bars. It is not realistic to expect prosecutors, investigators, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from domestic mobsters of Bosnia and Herzegovina (in Chicago was only a Capone, the number of the number is not known. But what I can do is act and act as he did before a less than 100 years of this man for whom the terms of courage determination, honesty, perseverance and incompliance today.
