Coric Freed for Father's Funeral

(TU No 457, 16-Jun-06)

During the period of release, from June 14 to June 19, Coric will have to abide by a number of conditions laid down by tribunal judges. These include a ban on contacting potential witnesses or discussing his case with anyone but his lawyers.



Prosecutors say Coric played a key role in the establishment and running of the military police wing of the HVO, which ran civil and military affairs in Croat-dominated portions of Bosnia.



He is charged along with five other former HVO officials – Jadranko Prlic, Bruno Stojic, Slobodan Praljak, Milivoj Petkovic and Berislav Pusic – in connection with alleged ethnic cleansing of non-Croats, especially Muslims. Crimes listed on the indictment against them include murders, rapes and mass deportations.



Prosecutors began presenting their case against the six men in April.
