Sounds like it’s a news from the “Believe It” section: two bh. In the period from 2016, police officers were able to “accumulate” a bribe in the amount of 1,120,179 KM. The said money, whom they “diligently” collected on the basis of the employment bribes are to make the matter more absurd, neatly paid to their accounts.
This is one of the allegations in the latest report of the Expert Committee for Assessing Measures Measures and Funding the Terrorism of the Council of Europe (Moneyval) on money laundering and anti-terrorist financial measures for Bosnia and Herzegovina. And currently the subject of the investigation.
As they stated, during 2023. Two domestic banks submitted reports on suspicious transactions related to the accounts mentioned by two police officers, for which it was determined to have deposited Cash from 1,120,179 KM.
The financial intelligence unit is emphasized, collected financial intelligence data from domestic banks on the cash flows of the said persons. They add that the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) submitted a report to the Prosecution about this crime, and that the investigation is underway.
By the way, in the mentioned Moneyval report, I would not have made progress in the field of money prevention and financing of terrorist activities, although the same-year law at the state level was adopted last year, which is one of the conditions for the further process of EU integration.
It is especially emphasized that BiH is facing difficulties in understanding the risk of terrorist financing, especially in connection with non-profit organizations and digital assets. Also, the report is presented, there is a lack of appropriate coordination in the implementation of money laundering policies and terrorist financing.
The need to strengthen the system of confiscation of property acquired in crime and elimination of legal gaps in the implementation of targeted financial sanctions was emphasized. Although the authorities have taken certain steps, the report warns that there is still no effective management system of seized assets at the state level.
