The Supreme Court rejected as groundless the request by the State Attorney to increase prison sentences for all the accused in the case as well as appeals by other accused -- Sinisa Rimac, Miro Bajramovic and Branko Saric -- who insisted they were innocent. The sentences imposed against them by the trial court were upheld.
On 15 September 2005 the Zagreb County Court found the five former police reservists guilty of murdering a man and of unlawful detention and extortion of three Serb men from Zagreb in 1991.
Suljic was sentenced to 10 years in prison, Rimac to eight, Mikola to five, Bajramovic to four and Saric to three years.
Mikola was sentenced to four years in prison for the crime of murder and to one year and six months for the crime of extortion. Under the Criminal Code, he was given a single prison sentence of five years.
Suljic and Mikola are still at large.
