War crimes case reopens against Ratko Mladic
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Prosecutors reopened their case Monday against former Bosnian Serb military chief Gen. Ratko Mladic at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal to present new evidence gleaned from a mass grave discovered in Bosnia in 2013.
Prosecutors say evidence gathered there demonstrates the involvement of Bosnian Serb forces under Mladic’s command in the murder and burial of non-Serbs in the Prijedor region early in the country’s 1992-95 war.
If convicted, the 73-year-old faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
