Žigić surrendered to the court in 1998 where he faced two counts of crimes against humanity and three counts of violations of the customs of war, to all of which he pleaded not guilty. His trial was held together with the trials of Miroslav Kvočka, Mladen Radić, Dragoljub Prcac, Milojica Kos, and Mladjo Radić. He was found innocent on four charges and was sentenced to twenty five years imprisonment.
In June 2006 he was transferred to an Austrian jail to serve the rest of his sentence.
