Hodzic et al: Another Indictment for Trusina Crimes Filed

Konjic

12 March 2010 The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has submitted to the Court, for confirmation, an indictment against Nedzad Hodzic, known as John Wayne or Dzoni, charging him with war crimes committed in Trusina, near Konjic.

Hodzic is charged, as a member of the "Zulfikar" Special Purposes Squad of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ABiH, with having participated in an attack on Croat civilians in Trusina village, while "leading the attack on one side" of the village.

The unconfirmed indictment alleges that on April 16, 1993 Hodzic participated, together with other members of the ABiH, in the shooting of captured civilians and members of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, who had previously surrendered, in Gaj hamlet, Trusina village.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina contends that "during the course of the well-planned and prepared" attack on the civilian population of Trusina village 18 civilians and four HVO members were killed and four people, including two children, were wounded.

Mensur Memic, Dzevad Salcin and Senad Hakalovic are charged with the crime committed in Trusina. The Prosecution suspects Nihad Bojadzic, Jusuf Hadzalija and Zulfikar Alispaga of having participated in the crime.

Rasema Handanovic and Edin Dzeka, who are suspected of the same crime, are reported to have been arrested in the US.

All the indictees and suspects, except for Hodzic and Hadzalija, are being held in custody.

Hodzic was in custody from September 17, 2009 to January 19, 2010, when prohibiting measures were ordered against him.
