SARAJEVO (Reuters) - A Bosnian tycoon and head of a party in the ruling coalition was indicted on Friday of organising a criminal group to obstruct justice and offer political favours in a high-profile court case against an accused Balkan drug boss.

The arrest in late January of Fahrudin Radoncic, a former owner of Bosnia's largest newspaper, Dnevni Avaz, and leader of the co-ruling Union for Better Future (SBB) party, sent shockwaves across the Balkan country weeks before it is expected to formally apply for European Union membership.
