Judges in Ratko Mladic case replaced over possible bias
Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti accepted the appeal by war crime suspect Ratko Mladic's defence and excluded Carmel Agius, Liu Daqun and Theodor Meron from the second-instance proceedings, The Hague-based tribunal confirmed for N1.
Following the decision that Antonetti issued on Wednesday, the Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (MICT), the successor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << (ICTY), appointed three new judges in this case.
Mladic's attorney, Miodrag Stojanovic, told N1 that the judges were disqualified due to the “appearance of bias” in the case.
Earlier during the first-instance procedure Mladic's team of lawyers cited parts of the verdicts written by judges Meron, Agius and Daqun in which they, according to the attorney's opinion, passed unacceptable conclusions about their client.
The ICTY sentenced on November 22, 2017, former Bosnian Serb war-time military chief Ratko Mladic to life imprisonment having found him guilty on 10 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.
Mladic was acquitted of charges for genocide in six Bosnian municipalities.
