Bosnian security chief accused of corruption in weapons sale
Bosnia’s security minister has been formally charged with malfeasance and corruption over the irregular sale of weapons and military equipment a decade ago when he held the post of defense minister.
The Balkan country’s top court on Wednesday confirmed the indictment against Selmo Cikotic, charging him of depriving the state of close to 5 million euros ($5.6 million) by changing “in breach of the legally prescribed procedure” the terms of a contract for the sale of surplus outdated weapons and military equipment in order to favor the buyer, the Croatian company SCOUT.

“Acting completely illegally and bypassing the legal procedures, not informing his deputies or the Bosnian Presidency, the defendant made changes to the contract, after which he exported weapons and ammunition of a higher quality and in demand on the market, instead of weapons and ammunition earmarked for write-off and sale for the purpose of reducing storage and maintenance costs, to the Scout d.o.o. Zagreb company,” the Prosecution said.
