(ANSA-AP) - THE HAGUE, Netherlands - A former spokeswoman for
the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal has been detained by security
guards at the court shortly before judges are due to deliver
verdicts in the trial of Radovan Karadzic. It was not
immediately clear why Florence Hartmann was detained Thursday. A
court spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking
comment. Hartmann, a French national, was convicted of contempt
of court by the tribunal in 2009 for publishing confidential
material from the trial of former Serbian President Slobodan
Milosevic. She was initially fined 7,000 euros, but the fine was
later converted to a seven-day prison sentence, which she is not
believed to have served. Hartmann was a spokeswoman for former
prosecutor Carla Del Ponte. (ANSA-AP).
