Zdenko Andabak, Muamir Jasarevic, and Sead Velagic are suspected of attacking Serb civilians who were detained in camps, tortured, and killed.
According to prosecutor Sedin Idrizovic, witnesses said the Bosnian Croat Army took part in crimes against Serbs. He said witnesses had described how civilians were detained in the Ivan Goran Kovacic School by the three suspects and other military policemen.
Idrizovic said Andabak should be ordered not to contact any witnesses or accomplices. He said Andabak could potentially influence witnesses and accomplices that can’t be reached by the prosecution.
Andabak’s defense attorney Bajro Cilic requested that the court reject this proposal, and said that the suspect didn’t know who the accomplices and witnesses were.
Bajro Cilic said his client “did what he was told.” He said his client “didn’t see certain people since he was on the frontline and was in Livno for a maximum of 17 days in that period.”
He told the court that Andabak was a family man and that the trial was “hard on him.”
Andabak is currently facing prohibitive measures in a different case, involving his alleged murder of two Bosniaks and the abuse of a Bosniak in Livno.
The court will come to a decision regarding the prosecution’s proposal at a later stage. The court has ordered Jasarevic into custody and ordered prohibitive measures for Velagic.
