The Bosnian prosecution said on Tuesday that Baotic was arrested on suspicion that, as a member of Bosnian Croat forces, he forced two women to have sexual intercourse between May and November 1992.

“It is suspected that in May 1992, with another man, he took a woman to a house in Orasje where they raped her using psychological and physical abuse,” said the prosecution.

The prosecution also said that Baotic raped a second woman at the primary school in Orasje, which was being used in 1992 as a prison for Serb civilian detainees.

Baotic will be questioned by the prosecution, which will then decide whether to file a custody motion.
