Rifat Kolic, Defence attorney of the suspect, presented the State Court with documents, according to which Vejzovic’s house and land in Tarevo village, Kladanj municipality, whose estimated value is about 93,000 KM, was offered as guarantee fund.
“In addition to bail, we are willing to accept prohibiting measures, as ordered by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the three most difficult ones – confiscation of travel documents, regular reporting to police and a ban on meeting the persons linked to this case,” Kolic said.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina objected to the proposal, saying that a court expert’s assessment of the property value was “incomprehensible, unreliable and non-objective”.
“The findings clearly show that the assessment of the property value was done by adding the area on the first floor, which is suitable for living, and the two upper floors, which only have separation walls. It appears that it is not important whether a house is suitable for living or not when assessing its price. This house would be worth that much if it was located in Sarajevo, but not in Tarovo village,” Prosecutor Dragan Corlija said.
The State Prosecution suspects Kahro Vejzovic of having tortured Serb civilians in Kladanj municipality from June to September 1992 and in January 1993.
The former member of reserve forces with the Police Station in Stupari, who allegedly acted on his own or in collaboration with other members of the Police Station, is suspected of having tortured Serb civilians, who were detained in the Education Workers building and old Local Community Office in Stupari, Kladanj municipality.
Vejzovic was arrested in late February this year. After that the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina ordered him into custody due to a possibility that he might flee, considering the fact that he lives in Finland and that he has a permanent stay and work permit in that country.
The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina will render a decision concerning the Defence’s proposal at a later stage.
