“I heard that a list of people, who wanted to go to Grbavica, to the enemy side, was found. I heard that some people were arrested,” Zijad Cordalija, former military policeman with the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, said, when asked by the Prosecution if he knew that Serbs were arrested.
The witness told the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo that he did not know where those people were taken to after having been arrested.
Cordalija said that he had not heard that anybody was abused or mistreated by members of his Unit of Mario Frimel’s Unit.
The Sarajevo Cantonal Prosecution charges Mario Frimel, former Commander of the “Ivan Krdnelj” Squad of the Army of BiH, with having unlawfully arrested and physically and mentally abused Serbs in Hrasno neighbourhood, Sarajevo.
According to the charges, at the beginning of October 1992 members of the “Ivan Krndelj” Squad brought some Serbs to the premises of the shopping centre, where they abused them.
Witness Cordalija said that Mario Frimel was Commander of “the squad from the Square” and that he was once sent to help that Squad.
“We were given material and technical resources, when we went to Hrasno Brdo. We co-operated with the Squad, as per their request, on that occasion,” Cordalija said.
The trial is due to continue on June 25.
