Jusuf Piralic headed military production of the Army of Bosnia-
Herzegovina for the Herzegovina area in 1995-6, when the secret
warehouses were established.
Attorney Faruk Balijagic said Piralic was released after he
promised to bring eastern Mostar's municipal court documentation
referring to said period that was in his possession.
Balijagic said his client had not participated in the establishment
of the storehouses nor in covering them up.
The attorney had said earlier that the most responsible for the
secret warehouses, which stored weapons worth more than EUR5
million, were the former chief of logistics of the Army of Bosnia-
Herzegovina, Halid Cengic, and his son Hasan, a former deputy
defence minister of the Bosnian Federation, the Croat-Muslim
entity.
Balijagic had also accused former Bosniak and Croat senior
officials at the federal defence ministry, like Sakib Mahmuljin,
Ante Jelavic, and Miroslav Prce.
