Glavas was charged with having ordered, in the period from July to September 1991 in Osijek, and in his capacity as secretary of the Municipal Secretariat for National Defence and commander of the 1st Osijek Battalion, the murder of Serb civilian Djordje Petkovic, who disappeared without trace.
Glavas is charged with failing to prevent his subordinates from detaining, maltreating and killing civilians and with participating in some of the crimes.
The prosecution alleges that members of the 1st Osijek Battalion arrested and maltreated four identified and one unidentified civilian, as well as civilian Cedomir Vuckovic, who was forced to drink battery acid and died.
The prosecution sought detention for the 51-year-old Glavas because of the gravity of the crimes he is charged with.
One of Glavas's attorneys, Ante Madunic, told Hina the defence team would lodge an objection to the indictment and use all legal means to prove that their client did not commit the crime he was charged with.
In April this year Glavas and six other persons were indicted in Osijek in the so-called Sellotape case, which concerns the murder of ten civilians by the Drava River in 1991. The Osijek County Court ruled that Glavas be placed in custody and he has been in detention since April 17.
Considering the fact that Glavas is now faced with two indictments, a decision is to be made as to where he will be put on trial.
Before the launching of the investigation in the Garage case in June last year, the parliament stripped Glavas of immunity. Glavas dismissed all the charges in the subsequent investigation.
An investigation was also launched against Krunoslav Fehir, who as a 16-year-old was a member of the 1st Osijek Battalion. He admitted to having shot at a civilian detained in the garage of the Osijek Secretariat for National Defence and accused Glavas of having ordered him to do it. Last month, Fehir was given crown witness status at the request of the Chief State Prosecutor.
