Elvira Stanojlović, the prosecutor of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina who acted on the report of Džermin Pašić filed against the chief prosecutor Milanko Kajganić, was transferred to another department by his decision, Detektor sources confirmed.
By Kajganić’s decision, Stanojlović was transferred from the Department for Corruption to the Department for Organized Crime. Prosecutor Ćazim Hasanspahić, who was previously in the Department for Terrorism, was transferred to the same department.
Stanojlović acted according to the criminal report that Džermin Pašić, Deputy Chief State Prosecutor, submitted to the Special Department for Organized Crime, Economic Crime and Corruption of the State Prosecutor’s Office against her boss Kajganić and prosecutor Vedrana Mijović for their actions in the case of an attack on the constitutional order in which the investigation against Milorad Dodik, Radovan Višković and Nenad Stevandić was suspended.
By Kajganić’s decision, Pašić, who was previously one of the managers in the Special Department for Organized Crime, Economic Crime and Corruption and his deputy, was transferred to the Special Department for War Crimes of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, he confirmed for Detektor and stated that in the past period he was interrogated on several occasions because of the criminal complaint he filed against his boss.
After hearing Hasanspahić on the same criminal complaint, he was also transferred to another department, several sources confirmed.
The BiH Prosecutor’s Office responded to Detektor that the chief prosecutor, in order to strengthen the capacity to work on organized crime cases, especially the SKY team and work on cases with evidence from encrypted applications Sky and Anom, where more prosecutorial decisions are expected to be made this year, within Department II “moved two experienced prosecutors to the Department for Organized Crime”.
“Prosecutor and Deputy Chief Prosecutor Jermin Pašić was transferred to the Special Department for War Crimes, because the prosecutor has experience in earlier work on several complex war crimes cases in which he filed and represented indictments,” the Prosecutor’s Office stated in the response.
They add that internal transfers of prosecutors are not rare and are carried out for the purpose of strengthening prosecutorial capacities in segments where, in accordance with the analysis of the results, the need arises, and in order to achieve the best possible results of the prosecutorial institution.
When asked about the cases that were in charge of these prosecutors, the Prosecutor’s Office replied that they would be assigned through the TCMS system to the prosecutors who work within the aforementioned departments.
According to Detektor’s information, Stanojlović was also the acting prosecutor in the case known to the public as “Vila Dedinje”, where the investigation is conducted against Milorad Dodik, the former president of Republika Srpska, who was sentenced with final judgment for disobeying the decisions of the high representative. He was sentenced to one year in prison and security measures were imposed on him, prohibiting him from performing the duties of the President of the RS for a period of six years.
The Center for Investigative Journalism (CIN) revealed back in 2009 that Dodik had to pay for the villa in order to be registered as its owner, but he received the loan for its purchase only eight months later. While he was a member of the BiH Presidency, Milorad Dodik gave a statement at the State Prosecutor’s Office regarding the purchase of an expensive villa in Belgrade.
“The problem is that the case has been going on since 2009, when it became public, and nothing concrete has happened since then. There is no concrete epilogue. The fact that the prosecutors in the case are changing, supports the fact that we do not expect any decision in the near future in this case,” Aladin Abdagić, editor of CIN, told Detektor.
CIN previously announced that Dodik claimed that he paid for the villa with money from the loan, but it turned out that he took out the loan from “Pavlović Bank” only a year later, on June 27, 2008, which raised reasonable suspicion that the loan served as a cover.
