A Croatian police inspector told the retrial of Branimir Glavas that he overheard a conversation implying that the 1990s general was wrongly accused of war crimes against Serbs.
Police inspector Zeljko Mazar on Friday told the trial of Branimir Glavas and five others accused of war crimes against Serb civilians in the eastern city of Osijek that he had overheard a conversation involving the local police chief in 2006 which cast doubt on the charges.
Mazar was a police inspector in Osijek in 2006, when witnesses were first questioned and when the investigation of Glavas started, headed by the local police chief at the time, Vladimir Faber.
Mazar has never testified in Glavas’s long-running court process and said he decided to speak out when he overheard a conversation between Faber and Radoslav Arambasic, who at the time was the lawyer for Gordana Getos Magdic, one of those accused alongside Glavas.
