Nezirovic has been charged with participating in the torture and inhumane treatment of detained Serb civilians in the Rabic and Silos Polje detention camps in the municipality of Derventa, as well as a detention camp in Tulek in the municipality of Bosanski Brod from late April to July 1992.
The state prosecution’s indictment alleges that Nezirovic committed these crimes as a member of the Croatian Defense Council’s 103rd Derventska Brigade military police.
Nezirovic has been living in the United States since 1997. Five years ago an indictment was filed against him, accusing him of providing false information when applying for U.S. citizenship.
Bosnia and Herzegovina filed an extradition request in July 2012. The procedure lasted longer than usual because Nezirovic filed an appeal. During that time an investigation against Nezirovic was conducted by the district prosecution of Doboj. Nezirovic was extradited to Bosnian prosecutorial bodies at the beginning of July 2015. The investigation against him was taken over by the Bosnian state prosecution.
The indictment was confirmed on October 13.
