The Marino Selo camp was a makeshift prison camp located on the premises of the fishing hut in the village of Marino Selo near Pakrac where Croatian Serb civilians were detained, tortured and killed by members of the 76th Independent Battalion Croatian National Guard (ZNG). It was operational between November 1991 and February 1992.[3] Six Croatian policemen were indicted for the crimes. On 13 March 2009 after the completion of their trial, The Požega County Court delivered a first instance court verdict that found all six guilty of war crimes: Damir Kufner, Davor Šimić, Pavao Vancaš, Tomica Poletto, Željko Tutić and Antun Ivezić.[3] On 23 March 2010, the Supreme Court quashed the verdict of the Požega County Court War Crimes Council because of procedural omissions and transferred the case to the Osijek County Court.[3] In 2011, the Osijek County Court sentenced Poletto to 15 years, Tutić to 12 years in prison, and released the others.[4]
