brothers, and Sarajevo Law School professor Zdravko Lucic, state television

quoted its sources as saying that 12 of the 14 count of the indictment issued
by the State Prosecutor's Office department for organised and white-collar
crime had been confirmed.
Covic and the others are accused of numerous crimes, including abuse of
office and power, dereliction of duty, bribery, conspiracy, and tax evasion.
Although the Office of the High Representative in Bosnia had said that
Covic would have to resign, the Bosnian Croat official said he would decide on
it after the court decided if the indictment was founded.
