Herzegovina. Under these circumstances, the majority, Judge Picard dissenting, does not
consider the evidence regarding Stanišić’s actions in relation to the training of Serb forces, in
itself or in light of the totality of the evidence regarding the Accused, sufficient to establish
beyond a reasonable doubt that Stanišić shared the intent to further the alleged common
criminal purpose through the commission of crimes.
2331. With regard to the SAO Krajina Police, the Trial Chamber recalls its findings that
members of the SAO Krajina Police committed murders and persecution in the SAO Krajina
in 1991 and participated in the commission of the deportation of between 80,000 and 100,000
Croat and other non-Serb civilians from the SAO Krajina between April 1991 and April
1992. 5001 The Trial Chamber has also found, in chapter 6.6, that, from late August 1990 to late
May 1991, the Accused, among others, directed and organized the formation of the SAO
Krajina Police in cooperation with Milan Martić. Between December 1990 and May or June
1991, the Accused directed and organized logistical support for the SAO Krajina Police

Simatović personally delivering bags of cash to Martić on at least two occasions.

1991 5002 and Minister of the Interior from June 1991, 5003 had authority over the SAO Krajina
Police. Given the scale of the deportation committed by the SAO Krajina Police in 1991, the
Trial Chamber is satisfied that the Accused must have known about the crimes committed by
the SAO Krajina Police between April 1991 and April 1992. The Trial Chamber further
recalls that Milan Martić personally participated in the deportation of non-Serbs from the
SAO Krajina. 5004 The evidence does not establish to what extent Martić discussed his intent to
deport non-Serbs with the Accused. Nonetheless, given their close cooperation and in view of
the crimes committed by the SAO Krajina Police, the Trial Chamber is satisfied that the
Accused must have known of his intent. In continuing to support the SAO Krajina Police and
