Although the State Attorney’s Office did not give the suspect’s name and surname, local media have suggested that he is called Dane Lukaic.
The man is charged with ordering his Bosnian Serb Army subordinates at the Manjaca prison camp near the Bosnian town of Banja Luka to beat and injure two Croatian Defence Council, HVO members as well as three Croatian Defence Forces, HOS detainees.
He is also charged with personally inflicting serious injuries on one of the HOS members.
The State Attorney’s Office said that he was the leader of a security services operational team responsible for collecting intelligence from prisoners of war from the middle of June until September 16, 1992.
In June this year, police in Croatia arrested a Bosnian Serb who was entering the country on suspicion that he ordered the inhumane treatment of prisoners at the wartime Manjaca prison camp. Local media have suggested that the man was Lukaic.
Bosnian Serbs imprisoned Bosniaks and Croats at the Manjaca camp during the war in 1992.
The camp operated from 1991-92 and briefly again in 1995. The majority of prisoners were Croat and Bosniak soldiers and civilians.
