AN 88-year-old man told last night how he was tortured on the orders of sadist Milivoj Asner.

Dusan Janosevic said he was beaten with a rope until he bled every day for six months in Asner’s jail.

And he said other prisoners including Jews and priests were executed in a nearby forest every night.

The father of two – then a tailor’s apprentice – said he was crammed with up to 30 others in a tiny cell.

Police chief Asner would stride around with a WHIP as he masterminded the torture regime, Dusan said.

The pensioner, who still lives in Pozega, Croatia, was arrested in 1941 because he was a minority Serb.

Guards tried to force him to falsely confess he was a Communist. He said: “We were treated like animals.

“All night you could hear people being tortured and crying out. They had a bucket of water and soaked the ropes overnight ready to give us a beating every morning for breakfast.”

Dusan said relatives were ordered to bring food for starving prisoners, who then watched as guards ate it.

Shown footage of Asner walking through Klagenfurt at Euro 2008, he pointed at the screen and said: “That is him. He is an evil man.

“What he did is so appalling that he should face justice until his dying day.

“I would stand up in court and describe what he did if it was my last act on earth. He is an animal.

“I cannot believe the Austrians are protecting this man. It leaves me speechless with disgust.”
