Prosecutor of B&H issued, after interrogation of suspects, proposal to the Court of B&H for ordering custody for six men suspected for war crimes in Kotor Varos in 1992, as well as in the later period.
The suspects are: Slobodan Zupljanin called “Bebac”, born on the 17.11.1957. in Maslovare, Kotor Varos; Bosko Peulic, born on the 14.1.1947. in Donji Vijcani, Prnjavor; Aleksandar Petrovic called “Sasa”, born on the 28.12.1970. in Kotor Varos; Manojlo Tepic called “Mane”, born on 16.5.1960. in Postolje, Kotor Varos; Janko Trivic, born on 04.06.1949. in the village Josavka, Celinac and Nedeljko Djekanović, born on 15.11.1958. in the village Grabovica, Kotor Varos.
After the arrest, the suspects were handed over to the Prosecutor who interrogated them as suspects, after which he issued the proposal for ordering custody on the basis of Article 132, paragraph 1, items a, b and d of the Criminal Procedure Code of B&H.
“Order for custody, among other things, was requested due to risk of escape, as well as the risk that if released the suspects might interfere with the investigation, hide the evidence and influence on the witnesses or accomplices, as well as to be able to commit the offense for which they were charged again,” as stated from the Prosecution.
The order for custody was issued due to the severity of the criminal offense, and because this criminal offense is punishable by prison for more than 10 years, as well as the fact that the release of the suspects could lead to the breaches of security and public order.
The mentioned suspects were charged due to the suspicion of committing crimes against humanity under the Article 172, paragraph 1, item h, of the Criminal Procedure Code of B&H.
