A 21-year old imam (Islamic priest) from the Serbian region of Sandzak, was arrested in Bosnia for drug trafficking, local media reported on Wednesday.
The imam was a part of a group that was arrested in the Bosnian capital over the past week, under suspicion of being a part of an international drug trafficking ring. At least five other men were arrested as a part of this operation.
During the arrests, the police had discovered and seized 2.5 kilos of heroin, as well as significant amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, speed and marijuana.
The arrested imam was serving in a mosque in a village near Novi Pazar in the Serbian Muslim-dominated region of Sandzak.
