The indictment alleges that Juric, a former member of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) 106th Brigade’s military police, participated in a widespread and systematic attack against Serb civilians in the Orasje area from August 1992 until September 1993.

According to the indictment, Juric assisted in the persecution of the Serb population in territory that was controlled by the HVO, and participated in murders, torture, rape and other inhumane acts.

The indictment also alleges that Juric, together with other members of the HVO military police, participated in the torture of prisoners of war at a detention centre in the camp located in the primary school in Donja Mahala in the Orasje municipality.
