SUDSKA HRONIKA: SLUCAJ TUTA & STELA

Svjedok odbrane tvrdi da Tuta "nije komandovao" Kaznjenickom bojnom

Na sudjenju Mladenu Naletilicu "Tuti" i Vinku Martinovicu "Steli" dvojica zasticenih svjedoka su posvjedocila da Tuta nije komandovao vojnim operacijama u hercegovackim selima Sovici i Doljani, gdje su Muslimani bili protjerivani ili hapseni uz oduzimanje imovine.

Tutini branioci tvrde da optuzeni nije bio zapovjednik vojne formacije bosanskih Hrvata zvane Kaznjenicka bojna, te da nije pocinio zlocine nad Muslimanima - kako ga tereti optuzba. Odbrana je prosle sedmice pred sud izvela svjedoka koji je potvrdio da je dana 17. aprila 1993, kada su se odigrali napadi na Sovice, optuzeni gostovao u njegovoj kuci. Drugi zasticeni svjedok, inace pripadnik jedne od vojnih jedinica bosanskih Hrvata iz sastava HVO, bio je prisutan u Sovicima, i tvrdi da tamo nije vidio optuzenog.

Taj svjedok je pred sudom rekao da je Tuta u jesen 1992. bio napustio funkcije zapovjednika Kaznjenicke bojne, kao i sve ostale funkcije koje je obavljao. Otuzenog je vidio samo kako posjecuje Doljane 19. aprila 1993. Svjedok je insistirao da je Tuta bio "istinski zagovornik jedinstva izmedju Hrvata i Muslimana".

Optuzba je potom svjedoku predocila niz dokumenata koji sadrze naredbe HVO o upucivanju muslimanskih zatvorenika iz obliznjih logora na prisilan rad. Na jednom od tih dokumenata se pojavljuje i potpis doticnog svjedoka. Kada mu je postavljeno pitanje o tom dokumentu, svjedok je izjavio da on nije imao ovlascenje da potpisuje takve naredbe, premda je priznao da bi pomenuti potpis mogao biti i autentican.

Unakrsno ispitivanje optuzbe bice nastavljeno u ponedjeljak.
