Members of the Sc Ministry of the Interior started the search of the property of Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, the director of iSA, this morning on the order of the Prosecutor's Office of B&H, the "Avaz" portal has learned.
The search of Mehmedagić's house, then the apartment and the vacation home is in progress.
We learn that the searches are in Hrasno, Dobrinja and Trnovo. Documentation on education at the American University in B&H, owned by Denis Prcić, is required.
Mehmedagić is under investigation by the Prosecution in the Diploma affair. He is suspected of abuse of office and money laundering. He was arrested a month ago but the Court rejected the Prosecution's motion to remand him in custody.
We remind you that it is suspected that on the basis of a fake diploma, Mehmedagić received a salary in ISA and gained an illegal benefit of more than 100,000 KM. He is also suspected of committing the crime of "money laundering".
According to the information that "Avaz" has, it is being checked with what money Mehmedagić bought and renovated two houses in the Sarajevo neighbourhood Aneks, in the renovation of which close to one million marks were allegedly invested.
Namely, the investigation established that Mehmedagić did not withdraw money from the account for the purchase of this real estate, which is why there is a justified suspicion of money laundering.
Osmica bought this house from Šaćir Čedić, the owner of the "Vatra" cafe chain in Sarajevo, who was questioned by the Prosecutor's Office of B&H in January.
He testified in this judicial institution about the circumstances of the sale of the house in 2017 to Osman Mehmedagić.
Based on the financial investigation, which was conducted by the State Agency for Investigation and Protection (SIPA), the prosecutors came to the information that Čedić sold the house of 94.40 square meters to Mehmedagić for 116,000 KM.
