ZAGREB, March 6 (Hina) - The Hague-based U.N. war crimes tribunal
has decided to entrust a trial chamber, presided by judge Liu Daqun,
to consider a motion by attorney Luka Misetic requesting an
investigation into a break-in into his former Zagreb office and the
prosecution's motions that Misetic's request be rejected because
it is unfounded. #L#
According to the motions forwarded by the tribunal to Hina, Luka
Misetic, who represents Bosnian Croat Ante Furundzija before the
tribunal, on November 5, 2002 requested the tribunal to investigate
a break-in into his Croatian office which he also used for the
representation of his other client, also an indictee of the
tribunal, General Ante Gotovina.
According to Misetic, a computer containing materials relating to
the Furundzija case, was taken from his office. In the motion
Misetic places the break-in in the context of statements and
newspaper headlines about the arrest of Gotovina, for whom an
international arrest warrant has been issued.
The Hague prosecution said in its motion that it was not clear if the
stolen documents were those from the "Furundzija case" and
requested that Misetic's motion be rejected because it was not
supported with relevant evidence.
