Bosnia’s State Investigation and Protection Agency arrested former soldiers Goran Mrdja, Milorad Mrdja, Ranko Mrdja and Mile Kokot in the Prijedor and Banja Luka areas on Tuesday.

The Bosnian prosecution said that a raid was also carried out at one location in the Prijedor area in a bid to find evidence.

The date on which the alleged crimes took place was not initially made public.

The suspects will be questioned by the prosecution, and the prosecutor will then decide whether to file a custody motion or ask for other restrictive measures to be imposed.
