An indictment has also been filed against the legal entity WDG d.o.o. Vitez for the criminal offenses of abuse of position or authority and money laundering.
Behrija Huseinbegović is charged with enabling the company WDG Promet d.o.o. Zagreb to unlawfully purchase PS Vitezit in bankruptcy without fulfilling legal conditions and obtaining necessary approvals from competent institutions.
WDG Promet d.o.o. Zagreb, lacking other funds, used monetary funds in the amount of 10.8 million KM, which were deposited for the procurement of weapons and ammunition for Ukraine, to purchase the assets of PS Vitezit in bankruptcy.
The buyer was allowed to take possession of the assets, including facilities and plants for the production of weapons and military equipment, which were not supposed to be subject to disposal, and which assets were subsequently disposed of without legal basis by WDG d.o.o. Vitez.
The suspects also organized the dismantling and destruction of plants, facilities, infrastructure, and equipment intended for the production of weapons and military equipment, and sold that property as secondary raw materials, thereby obtaining unlawful benefits for the legal entity WDG d.o.o. Vitez, and thus damaging PS Vitez in bankruptcy.
The money obtained from the sale of the assets was injected into the legal cash flows of the company WDG d.o.o. Vitez and used for salaries, expenses, and operations, thereby committing the aforementioned criminal offenses.
The indictment proposes for the main trial the examination of 71 witnesses, three experts, and the presentation of over 1,000 material pieces of evidence.
It also proposes the confiscation of property benefits obtained through criminal offenses from the suspect legal entity WDG d.o.o. Vitez in the amount of approximately 214,000 KM and in the amount of 10.8 million KM that was deposited into the account of PS Vitezit d.o.o. in bankruptcy, and that the suspects be obligated to cover the costs of the criminal proceedings.
The acting federal prosecutor of the Special Department for Combating Corruption, Organized and Inter-Cantonal Crime of the Federal Prosecutor's Office of FBIH has also proposed measures for extending detention for suspects Behrija Huseinbegović, Tomislav Zubak, and Josip Raić.
