Glavas and Fehir are both suspects in war crimes committed against civilians in the eastern city of Osijek in 1991. Fehir accused Glavas of ordering those murders.
Glavas told the press that last year Fehir accused him also of ordering the killing of Serb civilians in a case known to the public as the Drava Case or the Sellotape Case, in which the victims were allegedly killed with a bullet to the back of their heads and then thrown into the Drava river, with their mouths covered with Sellotape.
Glavas said that Fehir last year gave the media, as well as in court testimonies, six different versions of those events, including his own involvement, which Glavas said clearly showed Fehir committed war crimes against civilians. He added that those crimes were not covered by the current investigation.
Glavas said Fehir publicly confessed to involvement in the murder of Milutin Kutlic and the attempted murder of Radoslav Ratkovic and several dozen other civilians. Glavas added he decided to press charges against Fehir because the chief state prosecutor did not launch an investigation against him for those crimes. He said chief state prosecutor Mladen Bajic was bound by law to take a position on the charges he pressed.
Glavas said his press conference could not be interpreted as exerting influence on witnesses because Fehir was not a witness in criminal proceedings but a defendant, and that if it were interpreted so, that would constitute an abuse of the law on criminal procedure.
