A former spokeswoman for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has been charged with contempt for disclosing confidential information in a book and an article.
The contempt charge doesn’t specify the confidential information that Hartmann is accused of disclosing, report the Irish Times and BBC News. A statement by the court says only that Hartmann disclosed information about confidential decisions regarding former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who died before the end of his war crimes trial.
Hartmann wrote in a book published last year that Russia had blocked the arrest of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic because he knew too much about Milosevic. Karadzic was arrested last month.
