In a shocking revelation, a corruption scandal involving a network of corrupt police officers has come to light, with Bojan Simetić emerging as the alleged mastermind behind the illicit activities.
This gripping saga has left law enforcement agencies in the Republic of Srpska and abroad scrambling to uncover the truth behind these grave accusations.
Bojan Simetić, who is currently on the run in Switzerland, has been identified as the central figure orchestrating a series of illegal operations that have sent shockwaves through the Republic of Srpska's law enforcement community. Authorities are tirelessly working to bring him to justice for his alleged role in these crimes.
The scandal revolves around allegations that Simetić, along with his associates, illegally utilized sophisticated equipment provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during a joint operation codenamed "Port Royal," conducted from March 2014 to October 2015. This operation involved the acquisition of ten iPhones, four iPads, and seven laptop computers from the FBI.
Furthermore, investigators are diligently examining whether data obtained during the operation was lawfully handed over to the court, as required by the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Srpska. There are concerns that sensitive information may have been copied onto external hard drives and provided to FBI agents without proper authorization.
The anonymous letter that sparked the investigation also alleges that during the "Port Royal" operation, the FBI made a payment of approximately $30,000 to Inspector Milan Milošević from the Department for High-Tech Crime, who chose not to sever ties with the RS Ministry of the Interior, in stark contrast to his former colleagues.
Another disturbing revelation is the claim that Bojan Simetić masterminded an unauthorized exchange of information with the German police during an investigation initiated by the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by Diana Kajmaković.
It is essential to highlight that in February of this year, Director of the RS Police, Darko Ćulum, issued an order transferring jurisdiction over the Department for High-Tech Crime from the Police Support Department to the Criminal Police Department within the Republic of Srpska. This decision has raised questions about the handling of sensitive information and may shed light on the alleged illegal activities.
Simetić's alleged involvement in these criminal acts has raised significant concerns about corruption within law enforcement agencies and their relationships with foreign entities. The search for Simetić and the pursuit of justice in this complex case are ongoing, as investigators work tirelessly to unravel the intricate web of corruption and misconduct that has come to light.
This scandal serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law within the criminal justice system. As the investigation continues, authorities are committed to restoring public trust and upholding the principles of justice and integrity within the Republic of Srpska.
