Mlađo Radić

Mlađo Radić (born 15 May 1952), sometimes known by the nickname Krkan, is a convicted war criminal and former policeman who was found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of persecution, murder and tortureconstituting crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of warcommitted at the Omarska concentration camp in Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the Bosnian War.

Radić was born, raised and worked as a policeman in and around the town of Prijedor until late May 1992 when he began working at the Omarska camp which held almost exclusively non-Serb detainees from the surrounding districts who had been rounded up during the ethnic cleansing of central Bosanska Krajina. According to the trial and appeal judgements of the court, he became the leader of one of the guard shifts at the camp, and until the camp closed at the end of August 1992 he persecuted detainees on political, racial or religious grounds, a crime against humanity; murdered detainees, a violation of the laws and customs of war; and tortured detainees, a violation of the laws or customs of war. He was conscious of the discriminatory crimes that were committed against the detainees on a routine basis, ignored the bulk of the offences committed against detainees while he was on duty, raped a female detainee and attempted to rape a second female detainee, and was involved in the sexual intimidation, harassment, and assault of four other female detainees. He also accompanied detainees to offices for interrogation and removed them after they had been interrogated and beaten, and several detainees died from beatings inflicted by members of his shift. He failed to prevent outsiders from entering the camp to beat detainees, and personally committed acts of sexual violence that the court characterised as torture. The camp was closed in late August following international outcry in the wake of a visit and reporting by British journalist Ed Vulliamy.

Radić was indicted by the ICTY in February 1995 and arrested in Bosnia by British troops serving with the Stabilisation Force in April 1998, and transferred to the ICTY. He entered pleas of not guilty to all twelve counts under the indictment, and along with his co-accused Miroslav Kvočka, Milojica Kos, Zoran Žigić and Dragoljub Prcać was tried by the ICTY between 28 February 2000 and 2 November 2001. Radić was found guilty on four counts and sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment, with credit granted for time served. His four co-accused were also found guilty, but only Žigić received a longer sentence of imprisonment. His appeal was dismissed and his conviction and sentence were affirmed. Radić was transferred to France to serve his sentence. He submitted a request for review which was also rejected. Radić was granted early release on his second application, effective on 31 December 2012. his whereabouts were unknown. Provided by Wikipedia
