Numerous doubts
As "Avaz" finds out, the experts are working on recovering the deleted footage, which, according to all indications, will be usable, and in that way numerous doubts in the "Memić" case will be clarified.
A source close to the investigation revealed to us that this is footage from February 8th, 2016, when Dženan Memić was seriously injured in Velika Aleja in Ilidža, and footage from February 9th, 10th and 11th.
As our source reveals, the experts determined with certainty that footage was intentionally deleted and that there was no other factor in the removal of that material than human!
The investigation will also be directed towards the person who deleted the video material, because these are criminal offenses of hiding and destroying evidence.

This hotel is owned by Alija Budnjo, a businessman from Ilidža. Prosecutors will now check who deleted the footage and why. Earlier, the Hotel Management claimed that no one deleted anything, but that the data was automatically deleted. However, the Prosecution does not believe this.
Acting prosecutor Ćazim Hasanspahić recently confirmed these allegations in the Court of B&H, explaining the detention of the arrested member of the SC MUP, Josip Barić.
Every detail is now extensively checked and the footage will be recovered, more precisely the four missing days.
Why they remained silent
Prosecutor Hasanspahić stated that this was the central unit of a group of hotels whose video surveillance covered a key part of the Great Alley. As he explained in court, the electricity suddenly went out and, when the officers of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of the Interior appeared, there was no footage.
- It is indisputable that the footage was deleted. The Prosecutor's Office of B&H issued an order to SIPA in order to determine the manner and moment of deleting the footage and possibly recovering the content. Shouldn't it have been determined earlier who deleted the recordings if the MUP officer saw them - said Hasanspahić.
Who is afraid of Seferović's testimony
Hasan Dupovac, former head of the SC Ministry of the Interior for traffic investigations, Zijad Mutap, father of Alisa Mutap, Dženan's ex-girlfriend, and Josip Barić, investigator of the SC Ministry of the Interior's Traffic Unit, are currently in custody.
However, a new detail in the investigation is certainly the testimony of Ljubo Seferović, who agreed to be a Prosecution witness in this case.
In the Sarajevo Cantonal Court, Seferović was acquitted of the accusation that he hit Alisa Mutap and Dženan Memić,who later died at KCUS, with a van in Velika Aleja on February 8th, 2016. Apart from Ljubo, his wife Vasvija also testified to the Prosecutor's Office of B&H. Their two daughters were also questioned. Many prosecutors and members of the SC MUP are afraid of their testimony.
