The custody measure was ordered due to a danger that he might flee and influence witnesses and accomplices.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina suspects Tolic, a former member of the 102nd Odzak Brigade with the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, of having participated in the abuse of Serb prisoners in the Odzak and Bosanski Brod areas from May to October 1992.
He is suspected of having participated, in his capacity as Commander of Guards in several detention camps and other imprisonment facilities, in the abuse of several tens of Serb victims.
Data available to the Prosecution suggest that the victims were raped, abused and tortured in extremely humiliating ways and that the suspect personally participated in this. A certain number of prisoners died due to the consequences of the torture and abuse.
