SARAJEVO, Bosnia — Bosnians protested Wednesday outside the country’s top judicial body after a secretly recorded video emerged of its head appearing to take bribes through a middleman, himself a police officer. The protest was sparked by a video published last week in which Tegeltija met with a businessman, Nermin Alesevic, to discuss his case, which was being handled by a local court. The after-hours meeting in a bar was also attended by an officer of Bosnia’s State Investigation and Protection Agency, Marko Pandza. I am 100% certain he’ll sort it out for you,” Pandza says in the video after taking the money. Its job is to maintain, in the deeply corrupt country, an impartial and professional judiciary free of political influence.
