SARAJEVO, June 4 (Hina) - More than 150 million Deutsch marks have
been laundered through a chain of private companies in Bosnia,
whose owner is Croatian citizen Zeljko Jagecic, Sarajevo's daily
"Oslobodjenje" writes on Tuesday. #L#
Citing unnamed sources from the Bosnian Federation's interior
ministry, the paper writes the federal police, in cooperation with
the Croatian interior ministry and the Interpol, began an extensive
investigation whose goal is to determine the extent of committed
fraud.
Federal Interior Minister Ramo Maslesa on Monday told reporters in
Sarajevo that the arrest of a Croatian citizen had severed a well
organised chain of trans-national crime.
Oslobodjenje's sources say the person arrested is Zeljko Jagecic,
who organised the money laundering business with the mediation of
several existing and several fictive companies in Bosnia.
The chain, dubbed "Tiffany", included several persons from
Croatia, the Czech Republic and Bosnian Serb entity of Republika
Srpska.
It was not explained how the laundered money was earned.
