He was killed by the ones who speak about Law and Order.
I remember Milosevich as devoid of scrupules and with as only goal in life to attain and cling to power. This became blatantly obvious to me when in the second half of the 1980s he turned from a model communist into a archetypal nationalist (simply a matter of securing a power base in a changing political landscape). His actions and inactions were in the very first place responsible for the wars in Croatia and Bosnia which cost an estimated 120 000 lives and destroyed economy and infrastructure. Many negotiators from EU and UN were sent to Belgrade to talk sense into him, but all they ever got was false promises that were never kept. All these diplomats describe him as a smart and charming manipulator, who (like Hitler) would sooner see his whole country go down with him rather than let go of power.
I find it very plausible that Milosevich inadvertently killed himself in an attempt to obtain a ticket to Russia and the reasons for that assumption are:
- Milosevich insisted on going to Moscow (in a country, that does not recognise the ICC, where family members live) for treatment, whereas there are excellent medical facilities much closer by.
- Bad health was an excellent excuse to hold up and draw out the trial.
- He got himself a lawyer (while always insisting on conducting his own defence earlier). He needed a lawyer to stand in for him while he was in Moscow.
- He wrote a letter about being poisoned which his lawyer did not make public until after his death. This letter would be an excuse in case the drug he was using to induce bad health would be found in his blood.
- The drug (Rifadin®, Rifater®, or Rimactane®) that was employed (and found earlier by a Dutch toxicologist) cancels or reduces the effects of a wide range of other drugs, notably blood pressure drugs. So even if he would be subjected to forced medication (of various heart medicines) he could still counter that treatment with one drug.
- It was been easier for Milosevich than for normal prosoners to obtain banned substances, since the ICC was so respectful of his rights (innocent until proven guilty) that he was largely unsupervised in his comfortable centre of detention.
- There is no motive on the side of the ICC to have Milosevich killed, quite the contrary, their interest was in seeing him alive and well, convicted for his crimes.
- If NATO, or another organisation beloved by conspiracy theorists, would have wanted Milosevich killed, they would not have done it which such an easily detectable compound; they would have done it in such a way that no foul play would be discovered. There are, for instance, drugs that can induce cardiac arrest (certainly in someone who already suffers from heart problems) almost without leaving a trace.
I believe it is most likely that Milosevich wanted to manipulate everyone one more time, to escape justice and have the last laugh.
And that is my five Eurocents (the 1 and 2 cents coins were never circulated in Finland).
