The indictment alleges that Vrucinic, the former Chief of the Public Safety Station and a member of the Crisis Committee in Sanski Most, participated in a joint criminal enterprise aimed at persecuting the non-Serb population between April to December 1992.

Vrucinic is charged with having participated in the persecution of Bosniak and Croat civilians, which resulted in the murder, forced resettlement, unlawful detention, enforced disappearance, and severe suffering of those civilians.

The Bosnian State Prosecution alleges the victims were tortured and abused in several detention facilities controlled by the police, and that more than 50 persons were either killed or taken away to undisclosed locations. They have been missing since.

The Bosnian State Prosecution states that several hundred victims were tortured, beaten, abused, humiliated and held in inhumane conditions, and that 1000 of the detainees were transferred to the Manjaca detention camp.

The prosecution also asserts that more than 20,000 persons were forcibly deported from the Sanski Most area, and that police forces commanded by Vrucinic participated in their deportation.

The indictment against Vrucinic was filed on December 23, 2014, and was confirmed on January 28 of this year.
