The Kosovo Specialist Chambers found him and three other defendants guilty of arbitrary detention, cruel treatment, torture, and murder during the 1998-1999 war, writes the BBC.

Thaçi, 58, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, while his accomplices received sentences ranging from 13 to 25 years.

However, the court did not find sufficient evidence of Thaçi's guilt in crimes against humanity and acquitted him on that charge.

Thaçi did not admit his guilt.

He was one of the founders and leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army. After Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, Thaçi held the positions of Prime Minister, First Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the government of the partially recognized country.

From 2016 to 2020, Thaçi served as President of the Republic of Kosovo. He resigned after the Kosovo Specialist Prosecutor's Office filed charges against him and has been in custody in The Hague ever since.
