AMSTERDAM, Nov 16 (Reuters) - An appeals court on Friday overturned the conviction of the most senior Croatian military officer charged with crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
The court ordered the immediate release of Ante Gotovina, who was commander in the Split district of the Croatian army, who had been sentenced to 24 years in prison, and of Mladen Markac, a Croatian police commander, overturning his 18-year sentence.
