The BiH Intelligence-Security Agency Chief Osman Mehmedagic was released from custody Friday afternoon, N1 learned.

The Prosecution argued that Mehmedagic could try to obstruct the investigation, conceal evidence and influence witnesses or accomplices in the case, as well as because his release “could cause disturbance among the public and citizens.”

His lawyer said his arrest was illegal and that there was no basis for the allegations that her client committed crimes he was charged with and that there was no reason to detain him.

Police in Sarajevo detained on Wednesday the director of Bosnia’s Intelligence-Security Agency (OSA), Osman Mehmedagic, whom prosecutors suspect of abuse of office, document fraud and money laundering.

According to Sarajevo Canton Interior Ministry (MUP KS) Spokesperson, Mirza Hadziabdic, the police operation comes as part of an investigation regarding the validity of his university diploma, while the money laundering suspicions are related to the purchase of a house in Sarajevo.

The director of the American University in Tuzla, Denis Prcic, was also recently arrested over the case of Mehmedagic's diploma, as he is suspected of “aiding a perpetrator” after a crime was committed. Prcic was later released from custody as well.
