The book reports a visit by Hague tribunal investigators to a house south of the Albanian town of Burrel where they found traces of blood across a wide area, as well as medical equipment. "The investigators found pieces of gauze, a used syringe and two plastic IV bags encrusted with mud and empty bottles of medicine, some of which was of a muscle relaxant often used in surgical operations," she writes. However, she concludes that the finds do not amount to sufficient proof for a war crimes tribunal.

They also quote this negative view on the claims from someone in Serbia:
In Belgrade, Natasha Kandic, the highly respected head of the investigative Humanitarian Law Centre, said ordinary Serbs "welcome the publication of this book" but said allegations of organ-smuggling were "rumours". "I talked to her many times, she never told me about this," said Miss Kandic.
The Serb War Crimes people are on record as saying that Del Ponte informed them of the investigation.
This paragraph on Kandic is a mix of a few short disparate paraphrases and direct quotes, who knows how much mis-representation was in abridging a fuller interview, and who knows on how much information (presumably told by the interviewer) she could base her judgement. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
