Asked to comment on recent media articles alleging that Racan had
handed over the indictments, the government source said that was
"definitely incorrect".
As for summonses the Hague tribunal sent to active and retired members
of the interior ministry to be interviewed by the tribunal's
investigators as witnesses, the source said that "a certain number of
persons" at the ministry did receive the summonses, but that former
minister Ivan Jarnjak was not among them.
The media have said recently that besides Jarnjak, his former
assistant Josko Moric, a former assistant minister for the criminal
police, Marijan Benko, a former commander of the Lucko Antiterrorist
Unit and current commander of the Intervention Police, Josip Turkalj,
former Special Police commander Ante Soljic, and former Special Police
employee Zdravko Janic have been summonsed.
Turkalj told Vecernji list daily he received the summons.
The spokeswoman for the tribunal's Prosecutor's Office, Florence
Hartmann, has been unavailable for comment.
