Prostitution Claims Shake Bosnia University

Sarajevo _ Two female students were arrested, questioned and then released as police probe an apparent sex and corruption ring at a Bosnian law faculty.

Police are probing the case at Sarajevo’s Law Faculty and its branch in the northern town of Tuzla.
The two girls were questioned by Tuzla police under suspicion of enticing prostitution and giving false statements. Meanwhile the Tuzla special police team is continuing to investigate the key suspect, a driver for Tuzla canton’s government Jasmin Masic. He was arrested on September 11 and will remain in detention for a month, pending the start of criminal procedures against him, local media reported over the weekend.

Media also reported that three professors and the dean of the Sarajevo Law Faculty will also be questioned in relation to this case.

The scandal started when police arrested Masic under suspicion of enticing and organising a prostitution ring which included several women, citizens of Bosnia as well as other countries in the region.
 
The investigation showed that Masic, who was driving Sarajevo law professors to lectures and exams they held in Tuzla and back, enticed girls, women – apparently both prostitutes and female students – to have sex with professors. He also arranged gifts and money transfers for the professors so the students would pass their exams.
 
Media reported that an anonymous call to Tuzla Canton’s anti-corruption hotline tipped off the existence of the ring two weeks ago.

Back then the accused professors rebuffed any accusations and no investigation was launched.
