Tokom suđenja, Kandićeva je tvrdila da su Škorpioni bili pod nadležnošću srbijanske policije, dok je sud presudio da je jedinica uglavnom operirala u sklopu tzv. Srpske vojske iz Hrvatske.
During the trial, Kandic claimed that the Scorpions had been under the jurisdiction of the Serbian police, while the court ruled that the unit had mostly operated as part of the so-called Army of the Serbs from Croatia.
