The Center for Investigative Reporting in Sarajevo presents the highlights in the career of Esed Radeljaš.
Last year, government agencies paid out some 31,500 KM in taxpayer money to the organizer of a ceremony for best manager awards, and the awards went to the officials who headed those agencies.
Business partners gave Esed Radeljaš six and a half million KM to get the deals done. He kept the bulk of the money and did not hold his end of the bargain.
A minister in Bosnia-Podrinje Canton, Esed Radeljaš, has a history of double-dealing property sales – he sold other people’s property as his own and build without licenses. Instead of punishment, he is serving a term in office.
After leaving the Sarajevo Public Transit Authority, Ibrahim Jusufranić and his family acquired property worth millions.
Gordan Pavlović aka Goci from Foča was convicted in his youth of forgery of vehicle identification numbers. Nowadays, he owns coal mine, construction and trading firms, hotels and numerous offices and apartment buildings.
Esed Radeljaš was building a summer house on the land of judge Vladimir Špoljarić at a time when the judge was involved in his court case. Later they signed a bill of sale listing a piece of false information.
Companies owned by the Lijanovićs family have not paid over several years for electricity, incurring a debt of 1 million KM.
During Jerko Ivanković Lijanović’ four-year term, the FBiH Ministry of Agriculture has allocated 2.8 million KM to persons and firms connected to the minister’s family. No agency has called it a conflict of interest or called for a sanction.
Money went to 23 officeholders who held senior posts in eight state ministries.
Dragan and Bernadica Čović have received most of the property the couple owns either as gifts or as purchases they made before 2003. After police started investigating Čović, his wife started buying property in family’s name — and receiving gifts.
Former legislators continue their careers in public administration managerial positions. They get new jobs most often after first collecting their full severance pay.
The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIN) in Sarajevo is unique in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first organization of its kind to be established in Balkans. CIN is dedicated to investigative reporting, aimed toward providing fair and unbiased information, based on evidences and solid proof, to BiH citizens who need to make educated decisions.
