A criminal ring posing as medical professionals has reportedly defrauded victims of millions of euros. Investigators say the group, which included a former hospitality executive, carefully selected their targets before orchestrating the thefts. Separately, investigators are reportedly looking into the circumstances surrounding the use of the Split mayor's mother's phone for minor charges.
The European Commission has warned that social spending is failing to reach those who need it, leaving the elderly at double the average risk of poverty. In other domestic news, the government has announced the locations for four new large waste incinerators. Meanwhile, residents in Slavonia recently described the closure of a local grocery store as a death in the family, illustrating the impact of shifting services on rural communities.
Prosecutors have adjusted their indictment of former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader following fresh testimony in a long-running corruption case. Regarding the labor market, with employment below 70%, the economy requires 100,000 new jobs simply to reach the European average. Across the border, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has set 2027 as the target date for his country's economy to achieve the 'wet dream' of overtaking its neighbor's.
