Milosevic Held On Corruption Charges

NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports from Belgrade, where former Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic is maintaining his innocence after surrendering to troops over the weekend. Milosevic is being held on corruption charges that include stealing from the treasury, but not for the human rights violations he was indicted for by the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal.
