The Bosnian state prosecution on December 23 asked for suspect Muharem Dunic to be remanded in custody after he was repatriated to Bosnia and Herzegovina last week along with others who had been living in Syria.

The prosecution said Dunic is suspected of having participated in combat activities within ISIS formations with the aim of establishing a so-called Islamic State caliphate on the territory of Syria and Iraq.

“The suspect is under investigation. He is accused of having left Austria in 2014 and gone to Syria together with his wife with the intention to join the so-called ISIS formations,” the prosecution announced.

The prosecution said that Dunic was captured by coalition forces after the defeat of ISIS forces and then extradited to the Bosnian judiciary.

It also said also that the state prosecution and police and security agencies have gathered numerous pieces of evidence about the suspect’s departure to and stay in Syria.

Last week Dunic was transferred to Bosnia and Herzegovina by plane together with Emir Alisic, Senad Kasupovic, Miralem Berbic, Jasmin Keserovic and Hamza Labidi, who are also suspected of fighting on foreign battlefronts and have been ordered into custody by the state court. A custody remand will be requested for another suspect who was repatriated alongside them, Armen Dzelko, after he is questioned.

Six women and 12 children who arrived on the same plane have been accommodated at a reception centre.
