Zagreb court completes investigation in Garage war crimes case

ZAGREB, Feb 22 (Hina) - The Zagreb County Court on Thursday completed the investigation in the so-called Garage war crimes case by hearing the last prosecution witness and was to send the case file to the County Prosecutor's Office on Friday to decide whether to issue an indictment or not.

"Investigating Judge Zdenko Posavec decided to take no further investigative actions, which means that the defence motions for hearing another witness and for the reconstruction of events that took place in the Osijek garage were rejected," court spokesman Kresimir Devcic told Hina.

On the last day of the investigation, despite opposition from the defence, the court heard a prosecution witness whose identity the parties declined to reveal.

Ante Madunic, one of the lawyers representing independent member of Parliament Branimir Glavas as a suspect in the case, said that the witness had already been heard during the investigation and that he had been previously sentenced to 13 years in prison for criminal activities.

Madunic said that the defence was pleased with the course of the proceedings and with what they had managed to prove. He said that none of the serious prosecution witnesses had blamed his client, except for "several underworld figures who are ready to commit crime for their own benefit."

Glavas is suspected of murder and torture of Serb civilians in the garage of the Secretariat for National Defence in the eastern city of Osijek in 1991. The Zagreb court has heard over 100 witnesses since the investigation was opened in June 2006.

Glavas is also a suspect in the so-called Sellotape Case, which concerns the alleged murder of Serb civilians by the Drava river in Osijek in 1991.
