According to Croatian police, Branimir Glavas is currently in the territory of the Muslim-Croat Federation entity in Bosnia. A statement from Croatia's MUP late on Saturday also said that "there is no legal basis to arrest Glavas", and reminds that there was also "no legal basis to limit his movement", since he is a member of the Croatian parliament and enjoys appropriate immunity. Croatian war criminal is in Bosnia Because Glavas has not yet been officially stripped of this immunity, the statement continued, "police cannot undertake any measures concerning his flight to another country". On Friday in Zagreb, Glavas was found guilty of committing war crimes against Serb civilians in Slavonia, eastern Croatia, in 1991, and sentenced to ten years in prison. He was standing two parallel war crimes trials as the first accused. After the reading of the verdict, however, Glavas was reported to have sent a message from an unknown address saying he "would not be arrested for the third time". Media reported that Glavas had fled to Herzegovina, "pulling a fast one" on the police and other state institutions in Croatia. Now the police say this is an "untrue presentation of facts", that creates an image of police's unprofessionalism and illegal work, "damaging its reputation". The statement said that that the police cooperated with the prosecution on the Glavas case to investigate criminal acts he was accused of, "despite pressures and a media lynch some individuals and interest groups had subjected policemen to". The Croatian MUP also reminds that during the trial, Glavas was released from detention and reinstated as an MP, and that all this gave the police no basis to limit his movement. Croatian police commander's cabinet chief Krunoslav Borovec also said in a statement that he received confirmation of Glavas's whereabouts through official communication with the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina police, and that the convicted war criminal was in their territory. However, since his parliamentary immunity has not been revoked, "Croatian police cannot undertake any action", said Borovec. A Croatian parliamentary commission is due to meet on Monday to decide on a court request to have Glavas stripped of his immunity.
