Bogdanovic is charged with having come to a Bosniak couple’s apartment in Mostar, accompanied by five armed members of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, during the night of 25-26 May, 1993. They allegedly searched the apartment and took jewelry, money and a car away from the couple.
The indictment alleges that on the same night Bogdanovic “threatened the woman” and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him.
“Indictee Bogdanovic and the other soldiers unlawfully took the woman’s husband to Heliodrom prison, where he stayed for thirty days,” the State Court said in its announcement.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina says that Bogdanovic is defending himself while at liberty.
