On 3 February 2011 the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) rendered a Decision in the Veselin Vlahović et al. case ordering the suspect Saša Baričanin into one-month custody. Pursuant to this Decision his custody may last until 1 March 2011. Saša Baričanin is suspected of the criminal offence of Crimes against Humanity.

 

Having examined the submitted evidence, the Court concluded that there is grounded suspicion that the suspect committed the criminal offence he has been charged with. The Court ordered the suspect into custody having found that there are particular circumstances indicating that, if released, he might hinder the inquiry by influencing the witnesses, accessories and accomplices, as well as that there is reasonable concern that he might conceal, destroy or alter evidence.
