According to official records from the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, Ratko Mladić remains alive and is currently incarcerated at the United Nations Detention Unit in The Hague. Mladić, the former Bosnian Serb military commander, was convicted of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity for his role in the 1990s Bosnian War, including the Srebrenica massacre.
Reports suggesting that a funeral for Mladić has taken place in Serbia are inaccurate. The convicted war criminal continues to serve his life sentence following the final appeals judgment delivered in 2021. There have been no official announcements from the tribunal or Serbian authorities regarding his death or any funeral proceedings.
Ratko Mladić is currently alive and serving a life sentence at the United Nations Detention Unit in The Hague. The premise of the story—that he has died and a funeral is being held—is factually incorrect.
