Glavas, who was brought from a prison hospital where he was taken due to a two-week hunger strike, and the other suspect in the case, Krunoslav Fehir, attended the questioning of Istvan Mihalek and Damir Huber, former members of the so-called Branimir's Osijek Battalion.
Mihalek was previously mentioned in the media as the person who issued threats against some witnesses during the police investigation into Glavas and who allegedly also sent threatening messages to the family of Krunoslav Fehir, who admitted to the crimes and accused Glavas of ordering them.
The other witness questioned today, Damir Huber, comes from the same circles. During his questioning, the prosecution moved that Glavas leave the courtroom, but the witness reportedly said that he did not mind his presence.
"After that the prosecution did not insist on Glavas not attending the hearing," said Glavas's attorney Ante Madunic. He added that Glavas would also attend the questioning of witnesses on Thursday and that he was in good shape despite the hunger strike.
According to unofficial reports, neither of the two witnesses who testified today directly incriminated Glavas, who is suspected of personally ordering the torture and murder of two Serb civilians and the torture of another three Serb civilians in Osijek in 1991.
Investigating judge Zdenko Posavec has still not decided about the latest motion by the prosecution to remand Glavas in custody because of the gravity of the crimes.
Since Glavas's detention expires on November 26, the judge is not obliged to deal with the motion immediately.
Glavas's attorneys, however, claim that he should be released from custody as soon as the last of the four witnesses whom he allegedly influenced is questioned. That witness is expected to appear before the investigating judge on November 17.
