MUP sifting through Mladić search op. findings

Interior Ministry (MUP) special units conducted an eight-hour search of the family home of Ratko Mladic’s son, Darko, yesterday. The operation began yesterday morning and ended in the evening. Police are searching for evidence that could lead to the arrests of Mladic and Serbia’s other Hague fugitive Goran Hadzic.

The head of the Government Office for Hague Tribunal Cooperation, Dusan Ignjatovic, told B92 that, for the moment, it was hard to tell whether any specific information had been retrieved in yesterday’s operation. “We will see if the action was successful. In any case, the action plan continues. It should lead to completion of cooperation with the Tribunal. We will see. As far as I understand, the people involved were reasonably satisfied with the action,” he said. Serb Radical Party official Dragan Todorovic, who, he said, had been in the home during the search at Darko Mladic’s behest, said that the police had removed many things from the home, including trophy weapons. “They took all the documents they found in the house—video and audio cassettes, albums, documents. I don’t think one single piece of paper was left in the house,” Todorovic said. He said that Mladic’s family had not been interrogated. In a similar operation, police searched a factory in Valjevo on November 10, on suspicion that the owner of the factory was offering financial and logistical aid to Mladic, and because of the work the company did with Darko Mladic’s Impakt company.
