(10.07.2008. 16:29)

The Court of BiH handed down the first-instance Verdict in the Ivica Vrdoljak Case, finding the accused guilty of the criminal offence of War Crimes against Civilians, and sentenced him to five (5) years of imprisonment.

The accused Vrdoljak was found guilty in as much as he, during the period from late June to late July 1992, as a member of the 103rd Derventa Brigade of the Croat Defense Council (HVO), treated inhumanly the Serb detainees held in the Silos facility located in Polje, Derventa municipality, and in the storage depot of the Beograd Department Store located in the Tulek settlement, Bosanski Brod.

The operative part reads, inter alia, that the accused Vrdoljak, on an undetermined date in June 1992, took four civilians out of the Silos facility, after which, together with other persons, he hit them with truncheons, punched and kicked them with his military boots on. The operative part further reads that the accused Vrdoljak, in the storage depot of the Beograd Department Store located in Tulek, Bosanski Brod municipality, during July 1992, in the evening hours, on several occasions, took the detainees into a poorly lit room, where they were beaten by him and other persons.

The time that the accused Vrdoljak spent in custody, starting from 29 November 2007 onwards, that is, pending his potential committal to a penitentiary to serve the sentence, shall be credited towards his sentence.
