Josip Grubeša, the State Minister of Justice of B&H, confirmed last night for "Avaz" that our state will ask Serbia to extradite the Moroccan arrested in Belgrade yesterday, who is suspected of killing Sarajevan Jasmin Berović in Otes eight days ago.
Grubeša explained to us that the complete documentation of the Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office is now awaited, considering that the crime was committed on the territory of B&H.
- As soon as the Prosecutor's Office sends us the documentation, we will, in accordance with the procedures, request extradition from Serbia. There is no doubt about that, considering the fact that this person was on wanted list and was being searched for - says Grubeša.
As he told us, the extradition procedure in this case lasts from 18 to 40 days.
We remind you that members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republic of Serbia yesterday arrested Moroccan citizen S. E. D. (31), suspected of having participated, along with several other people, in the murder of Berović on November 17th in Sarajevo's neighborhood Otes. As confirmed by the Serbian Ministry of Interior, the suspect was located and arrested in a hostel in Belgrade, where he was allegedly hiding with the intention of fleeing to one of the countries in the region.
This confirms what "Avaz" was writing about, that the suspects in the murder of Berović left the country and that the investigators have names of potential killers. The police said the arrest was the result of joint work and the exchange of information between Serbian and Sarajevo police. According to the order of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, the Moroccan was detained for up to 48 hours due to the suspicion that he committed the crime of murder.
Apart from the murder of Berović, we remind you that Husein Džilić and Tarik Džamalija were seriously injured after they were attacked by migrants.
This crime shocked the citizens of B&H and caused revolt among the locals of Otes and Ilidža, which is why they protested for days demanding that the killers be found and prosecuted. The Canton Sarajevo Ministry of Interior had arrested Moroccan Hisham Agleras, but it was determined that he had nothing to do with the murder, after which he was handed over to the juristiction of Service for Foreigner's Affairs.
The Minister of Security of B&H, Selmo Cikotić, welcomed the successful cooperation between the security agencies of B&H and Serbia in the arrest of Moroccan citizen in Belgrade.
He expressed expectations that other persons suspected of participating in this murder and inflicting serious bodily injuries on two more people, will soon be arrested, as well as prosecuted and sanctioned for this horrible crime.
