Both the prosecution and defense announced they will appeal the verdict.
Oric, 42, was arrested in early October 2008 after raids by Bosnian police discovered large caches of weapons, ammunition and explosives at his apartments in Sarajevo and Tuzla, and at his summer home in Olovo.

Oric’s arrest came only months after a UN War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague overturned his conviction for failing to prevent the deaths of Bosnian Serb civilian detainees in 1992-1993.
