Spanish writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte reacted strongly following the reported death of war criminal Ratko Mladić. Pérez-Reverte, 74, has a history of reporting from regions impacted by conflict, having covered the war in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for Spanish public television TVE between 1991 and 1994. In a post shared on the social network X, the prominent Spanish writer addressed Mladić, referring to him as “the destroyer of Bosnia who caused so much pain.” The writer stated, “He died, son of a bitch, the destroyer of Bosnia who caused so much pain.
War crimes will emerge from his archive.” Accompanying the statement was a photograph of the former commander of the Yugoslav People’s Army. Pérez-Reverte’s commentary reflects a strong condemnation of Mladić’s actions during the Yugoslav Wars. His coverage of the conflict decades ago established his connection to the regions and the gravity of the atrocities committed.
The spanish author’s remarks suggest an anticipation that evidence of war crimes associated with Mladić may surface from his preserved records following his passing.
