"We don't understand the sudden big trust in the Osijek County Court and distrust in the Zagreb County Court, where earlier cases against Glavas were transferred," Madunic told Hina.
He said that after the decision to strip Glavas of immunity, the Osijek County Court's investigating could decide on the county prosecutor's request to launch an investigation and set detention for those suspected in the Sellotape case.
Madunic said his client believed in the rule of law and would now wait either to be summonsed to court or arrested by the police.
By stripping Glavas of immunity, the Credentials and Privileges Commission complied with a request of the State Prosecutor's Office (DORH) so that Glavas could be placed in custody and an investigation launched into his alleged involvement in the Sellotape case.
However, the Commission postponed a debate on a request to strip Glavas of immunity filed by the Zagreb County Court, saying the request was legally dubious, given that investigating judge Zdenko Posavec had set detention for Glavas before he was stripped of his parliamentary immunity.
DORH requested the stripping of immunity at the proposal of the Osijek County Prosecutor's Office.
DORH spokeswoman Martina Mihordin said Glavas was linked to six persons recently arrested for murders of civilians on the bank of the Drava river in the eastern city of Osijek in 1991.
The media, which dubbed this the Sellotape case, quoted well-informed anonymous sources as saying that Glavas was the main suspect in those executions. According to the allegations, Glavas was not the immediate commander of the Samostalna Uskocka Satnija military company, whose members committed the murders, but he determined who should be killed and when.
