Lelo pleaded guilty earlier and was sentenced to a year and half in prison.

The verdict reads that three of them have damaged the budget for 75,121 KM during the year and a half.

Apart from this, Andrić prepared bogus bills of lading for three analytical scales from the Agency’s warehouses that was intended for the Regional offices in Mostar,Banja LukaandSarajevo. The scales have never been delivered because Andrić kept them damaging the budget for more than 3,500 KM.

Judge Biljana Ćuković said that this was a prophylactic punishment that should be a warning to others who may stoop to such crimes.
