criminal organisation were on Tuesday acquitted of charges that

the twelve indicted, five were, however, convicted of drug
trafficking, attempted murder or some other criminal act. #L#
A Zagreb County Court panel of judges presided by Judge Ratko Scekic
dismissed the claims of the prosecution that the criminal
organisation existed, so the indictees were acquitted on that
count, but also on all other counts of acts allegedly committed
under the organisation's plan.
The five who have been convicted of selling narcotics, attempted
murder or some other crimes have been sentenced to prison terms, of
which the longest one is twelve and a half years.
