USKOK only revealed the initials of the indictees on its web site on Thursday.
The indictment has been forwarded to the Zagreb County Office of the Croatian State Prosecutor against Croatian citizens: Vlado Curic, Mario Milicevic and Dalibor Prgomet and two Bosnian citizens: Mario Milicevic's son Vlatko and Sasa Savinovic.
According to the indictment, on 8 April, the indictees approached Jelavic from behind in a parking lot, forcing him to enter a vehicle.
The abducted Jelavic, blindfolded and handcuffed, was taken to an abandoned hamlet in Bosnia. He had to call his wife from there and told her that a EUR 1 million ransom had to be paid for his release or he would be killed.
Later "he was taken to a house from where he fled".
According to Jelavic's version, he was taken to the outskirts of the town of Rama, western Bosnia, and he managed to escape and arrived in Croatia on foot after he was left in the house for some time without guards.
The group of kidnappers was discovered soon after that.
Some of the kidnappers are in police custody and some have been released pending trial.
Jelavic had been a member of the Bosnian presidency until 2001 when he was removed from office by the international community's High Representative, Wolfgang Petritsch.
In mid-2005, Jelavic was sentenced to ten years in prison for embezzlement of funds Croatia was sending to Bosnia in aid to the Croats. Having dual Bosnian and Croatian citizenship, he escaped to Croatia, whose constitution does not allow the extradition of Croatian citizens. In July 2006, following his appeal, the trial court verdict was quashed and a retrial was ordered.
He was also tried in the so-called "Croat self-rule" case, along with the former Defence Minister of the Bosnian Federation, Miroslav Prce, and the former Deputy Commander of the Bosnian Federation Army, General Dragan Curcic. They were all cleared of the charges.
