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.
Tokom suđenja Kandićeva je tvrdila da su Škorpioni bili pod nadležnošću srpske policije, dok je sud zaključio da je ta jedinica većinom operisala kao deo takozvane vojske hrvatskih Srba.
