SARAJEVO, May 13 (Hina) - The department for organised crime and
corruption of the Bosnian state prosecutor's office has prepared an
indictment against former senior officials Ante Jelavic and Miroslav
Prce and another three persons accused of embezzling some EUR100
million, several Bosnian dailies reported on Thursday.#L#
Apart from Jelavic and Prce, the indictment charges Miroslav Rupcic,
former director of the Herzegovina osiguranje insurance company, Ivica
Karlovic, former director of Hercegovacka banka, and father Ivan Sevo,
a former member of the bank's management board.
They are accused of embezzling about 100 million euros through
Hercegovacka Banka which Croatia had sent as assistance to members of
Bosnia's Croatian Defence Council and civilian victims of the war in
Bosnia.
Prosecutor John McNair, who is investigating the case, told the Banja
Luka-based Nezavisne novine daily he had sent the indictment to the
Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which he added would consider it after
the document was translated.
McNair said the filing of the indictment did not mean the Hercegovacka
banka case was over. He added there would be another indictment with
new suspects.
Citing sources close to the investigation, Nezavisne novine speculates
they might be retired generals Ljubo Cesic Rojs and Ivan Medic, and
businessman Vilim Primorac.
Jelavic, Prce and Rupcic have been in custody since January 23.
