Tintor’s defense told BIRN that the Bosnian state prosecutor’s appeal had been rejected, while the defense appeal had been partially upheld by the second instance verdict.
In August 2018, the court convicted Tintor of responsibility for unlawful detentions, torture, beatings and making people do forced labour. It said the crimes were committed against a large number of Bosniak and Croat prisoners in several detention camps in Vogosca.
The judge in the trial said that Tintor had knowledge of the plans to detain Bosniaks in Vogosca, and had described the territory as “Serb land”.
The verdict also said that Tintor set up the Bunker prison camp and had authority to decide who would be detained.
He was also responsible for the detention of prisoners in the Nakina Garage and Planjina Kuca detention facilities, and for the inhumane conditions there, the verdict found.
However, he was acquitted on one count of the killings of 13 prisoners who were taken from the Bunker camp and never seen again.
