According to Novosti, Mladic was transferred from the detention cell in Scheveningen to a civilian hospital on Sunday, where he stayed for several days, and is now in the prison hospital.
Mladic’s son, Darko Mladic, told media that his father has pneumonia, water in his lungs and heart problems and that his health has been deteriorating since May of this year.
Reports say he had problems with his kidneys, but also that he was weak, has difficulties speaking and hardly ever uses his right hand.
