Judicial consequences: By merging the criminal proceedings concerning the crimes in Gošić and Varivode, six members of the Croatian security forces were initially suspected. However, following a trial at the County Court in Zadar and a retrial at the County Court in Šibenik, the accused were acquitted. As a result, the investigation reverted to its initial stage, now directed against unknown perpetrators. Even ten years after the conclusion of the trial in Šibenik, no new information has emerged, and no one has been prosecuted for the crime in Gošić.
