A former adjutant to Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic has been sentenced by a UN war crimes tribunal to 27 years in prison. Momcilo Krajisnik was found guilty of crimes against humanity committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war, including murder, extermination, deportation, persecution and ethnic cleansing. However, the Hague court declared that Krajisnik had not acted with the specific intent necessary to be found guilty of genocide. The 61-year-old former Bosnian Serb politician was captured by NATO troops near Sarajevo in 2000 and had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
