The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued the Decision in the case v. Mensur Memić et al. under which the custody of the Accused Nedžad Hodžić is terminated due to the expiration of custody which has been previously ordered.

 

Under the Decision of the Preliminary Hearing Judge dated 26 March 2010, the Accused Nedžad Hodžić was ordered into custody due to the risk of flight and hindering of the criminal proceedings by influencing the witnesses which may last no longer than three years from the confirmation of the Indictment, that is until 19 March 2013 or pending a new Decision of the Court. Bearing in mind the fact that custody of the Accused Hodžić can last until 19 March 2013,   and the fact that the first-instance Verdict has not been pronounced in this case, the Court found that all requirements  prescribed under the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been met to terminate custody of the Accused Nedžad Hodžić.  

 

Nedžad Hodžić is charged with the criminal offense of War Crimes against Civilians and War Crimes against Prisoners of War.
