Glavaš: Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Branimir Glavaš
Verdict, 2 Jun 2010, Supreme Court, Croatia (Hrvatska)
The case of Branimir Glavaš marks the first time that a high-ranking Croatian politician was sentenced for war crimes in relation to the Croatian war of independence.
Glavaš has denied any wrongdoing and protested his detention and trial in Croatia by going on a 40-day hunger strike in 2006. He considered his case to be politically motivated and Nikica Grzić, his defence attorney, alleged the Appellate Division Panel’s findings were based on “political, not legal statements.”
