“During the attacks, Rackovic took part in illegal detentions, torture, forced disappearances, rapes and other inhumane acts, done with the aim of causing great suffering and serious injury to Bosniak civilians,” said the Bosnian prosecution on Wednesday.
The ex-serviceman is accused of participating in the attacks on the Bosniak villages of Crni Vrh, Osojnica, Kabernik and Holijaci, in the Visegrad municipality, from May to August 1992.
The prosecution believes that Tackovic also took part in the illegal arrests of Bosniak civilians, some of whom disappeared during the war and whose bodies were exhumed in 2000 in Slap in the Zepa municipality.
Rackovic is charged with taking five women from a house in Bikavac in Visegrad on July 5, 1992 and transporting them to an abandoned location in Crnca, where he raped them.
The indictment has been sent to the Bosnian court for confirmation.
