Top Serbian War Crimes Suspect May Surrender

HeadlineJun 20, 2005

One of the world’s most wanted war crimes suspects may be on the verge of being arrested or handing himself in. For weeks, there has been a buzz in the Serbian press that General Ratko Mladic’s days of freedom were numbered. Now, The Times of London is reporting that he has struck a deal for $5 million in so-called “compensation” for his family if he gives himself up to the Hague War Crimes Tribunal before the 10th anniversary next month of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia — which he is held responsible for leading.
