Perisic -- who was army chief of staff under former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic -- denied the allegations. Washington also denied the spying allegations at the time and protested the detention and rough treatment by military police of its diplomat, U.S. embassy First Secretary John Neighbor. Yugoslavia later apologized for Neighbor's detention. If convicted, Perisic and two others charged today face between three and 15 years in jail.
