ZAGREB, 19 May, 2021 - Bosnian police arrested Croatian football manager Zoran Mamić in the southern town of Međugorje on Wednesday morning based on a warrant issued by Croatia.
Mamić will be handed over to the State Court which will decide on Croatia's request for his extradition.
Mamić has confirmed earlier that he holds dual Croatian and Bosnian citizenship and wants to serve the prison sentence imposed on him by a Croatian court in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Bosnian State Court is expected to reject the extradition request on the ground that Mamić holds Bosnian citizenship.
Mamić has been sentenced in Croatia to four years and eight months in prison for siphoning funds from the Dinamo Zagreb football club.
The Zagreb County Court issued a warrant for his arrest on 12 May after he failed to report for serving his sentence.
