Mali's ex-coup leader has been charged with "murders and assassinations", the justice ministry has said.
Armed troops went to Amadou Sanogo's home to take him before a judge, after which he was remanded in custody.
He had repeatedly been called in for questioning over the deaths of six soldiers during an army protest in September but failed to appear.
The March 2012 coup plunged Mali into chaos, allowing Islamist militants to take over territory in the north.
The al-Qaeda-linked insurgents were ousted from the major towns in the north with the help of France and West African troops earlier this year.
