The shocking data published by "Dnevni avaz" yesterday, in which the dark and hitherto unknown face of the President of the Court of B&H Ranko Debevrc is revealed, resonated like a bomb in judicial circles.

Silence in the Court

Everything we have published, as our sources claim, is a long-standing public secret that is whispered about in the corridors and offices of the Court of B&H. They reiterate that Debevec was known to use the power of the President of the Court to favor and over-promote employees with whom he maintained emotional ties at the same time.

Unlike the day before yesterday, when Debevec was in a quarrelsome mood for a controversy with the "Avaza" journalist regarding whether Judge Branko Perić signed the letter of support, yesterday he remained silent.

There was silence in the building of the Court of B&H as well. Those who know the details are silent for fear of Debevec's retaliation, and that is why no one wants to speak publicly about the obvious abuses. At the same time, they point to the mafia text messages of Debevec to his former friends, which we published in yesterday's edition of "Dnevni avaz", in which he directly threatens that "what is being done to him can only be washed with blood and nothing else".

People with whom he was in an emotional relationship are also in fear, because they are still employed in the Court. Some are at his mercy, and others have progressed abruptly in the ministry.

First of all, the person V. M., who was employed in the Court with a secondary education at the post office, in order to, with the help of Debevec, finish the faculty in Sokolac overnight and become a professional associate. It is not clear to anyone how she completed her internship in less than two years.

In addition, as we were unofficially told yesterday, other employees of the Court had close contacts with Debevec and were his predatory targets. Some also traveled to professional seminars in Neum, but also to other cities across Europe.

Viber messages

At the same time, new irregularities come to light, and they refer to the fact that Debevec sent questions and answers to at least one girl who competed for intership in the Court and was taking the professional exam.

As proof, there are also Viber messages between the middleman and this girl.

It is clearly visible in the messages that the girl confirms that she has received questions and answers for taking the exam. As we find out, these questions were personally submitted to the candidate by a close associate of Debevec, who, according to his instructions, met with the girl in a cafe in Otoka neighbourhood.

These messages reveal new, obvious and severe abuses of the position of the President of the Court of B&H and the classic trade in influence.

The only thing that remains unknown is whether the mentioned messages and the illicit favoring of the candidate for the internship - apart from the misuse of state resources for a vacation trip to Spain with one of the associates - will activate the actions of the Disciplinary Prosecutor's Office.

The Directorate is silent about how Debevec traveled to Spain

Yesterday, referring to the law on access to information, we asked the Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodies to answer the question when, with whom and how many times the police officers of the Directorate drove the President of the Court of B&H to Spain. We haven't received an answer yet.

As, until the conclusion of this issue of "Avaz", we did not receive an answer to the question sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of B&H whether Debevec, as the holder of a diplomatic passport, made an official announcement for a trip to Spain.
