The head of the Lijanovic legal affairs' department, Zdenka Simunovic was one of nine suspects when the judicial authorities launched an investigation against the leadership of this company on suspicion of white-collar crime. However, no indictment has been issued against.
The search of her flat was finished before noon but it has not been known whether any evidence material was taken out of the flat.
The spokesman for the Croat-Muslim entity's police, Robert Cvrtak, declined to say anything about the operation, adding only that it was still under way.
"Federal police officers are carrying out certain activities following an order from the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina," Cvrtak told Hina on the phone. The information office of the Court, however, said that it had no knowledge about the police operation.
Shortly after 06:00 hrs Monday, masked police officers with automatic weapons raided into the business premises of the Lijanovic company in the southern town of Siroki Brijeg. Since then other persons have not been allowed to enter the company's main offices.
A judge at the pre-trial proceedings in the case Lijanovic-Covic, Stephen D. Swanson, is said to have ordered on 20 June that the Lijanovic main offices be raided.
On 23 June, a status conference was held in Sarajevo about this case when it was confirmed that the indictment would be read on 29 June, which alleges that the Lijanovic brothers, the owners of the said company, and a former Bosnian federal Finance Minister and Croat member of the Bosnian collective Presidency, Dragan Covic, as well as the president of Bosnia's Constitutional Court, Mato Tadic, and a Sarajevo law professor, Zdravko Lucic, were involved in customs duties evasion.
The main hearing is scheduled for September.
