Line 61:
In July 1996 the Trial Chamber of the ICTY, proceeding in the absence of Mladić under the ICTY's Rule 61, confirmed all counts of the original indictments, finding there were reasonable grounds to believe he had committed the alleged crimes, and issued an [[Interpol notice|international arrest warrant]]. The Serbian and United States' governments offered €5 million for information leading to Mladić's capture and arrest. Mladić nevertheless managed to remain at large for nearly sixteen years, initially sheltered by Serbian and Bosnian Serb security forces and later by family. On 26 May 2011, he was arrested in [[Lazarevo]], Serbia. His capture was considered to be one of the pre-conditions for [[Accession of Serbia to the European Union|Serbia being awarded candidate status for European Union membership]].
 
On 31 May 2011, Mladić was extradited to [[theThe Hague]], where he was processed at the detention center that holds suspects for the ICTY. His trial formally began in The Hague on 16 May 2012. On 22 November 2017, Mladić was sentenced to life in prison by the ICTY after being found guilty of 10 charges, one of genocide, five of crimes against humanity and four of violations of the laws or customs of war. He was cleared of one count of genocide. As the top military officer with [[command responsibility]], Mladić was deemed by the ICTY to be responsible for both the [[siege of Sarajevo]] and the [[Srebrenica massacre]].
