Isak Musliu was charged by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) with a series of beatings and murders in a Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) prison camp in a family compound in Lapušnik to deal with Serbs and suspected Albanian collaborators between May and July 1998 during the Kosovo War.

The most serious incident listed in the indictment is said to have occurred on July 26 that year, when the facility was abandoned in the face of a Serb offensive. Prosecutors claim that Bala and another guard led some 20 prisoners up into nearby mountains, where some were released and the rest were lined up and shot, allegedly on Fatmir Limaj's orders.

On 30 November 2005, Musliu was acquitted on all charges. He was released from custody the following day.
