On 7 October 2010, the Court confirmed the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH against Slavko Lalović, accepting three and rejecting four counts of the Indictment. The Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH charges Defendant Slavko Lalović with the criminal offense of War Crime against Civilians in violation of Article 173(1)(e) and (c) of the Criminal Code of BiH, as read with Article 180(1) and Article 31 thereof.
According to the Indictment, Lalović, as a reserve police officer in the Kalinovik Public Security Station, while guarding a prison for unlawfully detained civilians in Miladin Radojević Elementary School, allowed soldiers to enter and commit violence against detained civilians. By doing so, Defendant Lalović, acting contrary to his duty to protect the detained civilians, aided in the violence committed against the civilians.
In the evening of an unidentified date in late August 1992, Defendant Lalović allegedly allowed two members of the Army of the Serb Republic of BiH to enter a room in which they raped a female detainee. As further alleged in the Indictment, Defendant Lalović intimidated and terrorized the civilians detained in said school in August 1992.
