Statements of Guilt: Predrag Banović

Predrag Banović was a guard at the notorious Bosnian Serb-run Keraterm detention camp established in mid 1992 on the site of a ceramics factory on the eastern outskirts of Prijedor in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Banović participated in the abuse and persecution of detainees within the camp. He murdered five prisoners as the result of his participation in beatings and also beat 27 detainees with baseball bats, truncheons, cables and iron balls. His plea of guilt was held to contribute to the Tribunal's fundamental truth-finding mission and the Trial Chamber felt he expressed sincere remorse for the crimes committed. He was sentenced to 8 years' imprisonment.
