Bosnia arrests 3 for aiding Stanković escape
Police found the getaway car near the Serbian border with Montenegro, and Bosnian police believe he could be in either country.The three suspected accomplices arrested in the eastern town of Foča will be handed over to the state prosecution on Friday, the State Investigative and Protection Agency (SIPA) said in a statement.
SIPA said it had raided the apartments of several people in Foča, including those belonging to Stanković and his brother, and confiscated items for analysis.
It said the investigation of others who might have helped Stanković escape was under way, and it was working with police in neighboring countries to find the fugitive.
Stanković was found guilty of keeping nine Muslim women in enslavement in the Karaman House detention centre in Foča in 1992. Two 12-year-old girls were held there and raped, tortured and beaten for months. One is still missing.
