The defendants are charged with three war crimes – unlawful confinement, torture and inhumane treatment – and one count of conspiracy to commit war crimes. None of the men are in custody, but FBI Director Christopher Wray said the charges reflected international cooperation and demonstrated the government would hold war criminals accountable. 👉 What we know about the charges.
