VDT

In the first half of the year, special prosecutors concluded 27 plea agreements, of which 26 were concluded with physical persons and one with a legal person, suggests the Report prepared by the Special State Prosecutor’s Office for the period from 1 January to 1 July 2019.

This is by 20 more agreements compared to 2018 and by 18 more in comparison with 2017, writes the weekend edition of Dnevne Novine daily. “Concluded plea agreements refer to jail sentences, while in some cases there’s an accessory punishment as well, i.e. a fine or confiscation of pecuniary gain acquired through committing a criminal offence, or money paid for humanitarian purposes,” says the Report of SDT.

Plea agreements, according to SDT, that is, under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act, can be concluded in regard with a criminal offence that is prosecuted ex officio, except when it’s about criminal offence – terrorism and war crimes.
