A night of unrest in Split saw 150 local Torcida fans attack Ajax supporters on the Riva promenade. After 57 arrests, the Dutch club's supporters’ chief suggested that clubs unable to manage their fans should be banned from European competition; Split police, meanwhile, stated their intervention prevented a clash between the two groups. The legal system is having a difficult week. One of the country's largest corruption cases ended in failure after 17 years, with zero convictions and an 82-year-old woman left as the sole remaining defendant. In Zagreb, two separate knife incidents disturbed the morning: a priest was threatened in the Voltino district and a man entered a classical gymnasium with a blade, only to be escorted out by the principal. Political pressure continues elsewhere as the Mayor of Oroslavlje, Viktor Šimunić, claims a state investigation into his affairs began only after he named powerful figures in public. In the capital, the local HDZ head declared the city is dying under the current administration, though the mayor's most immediate plan for change is the installation of parking cameras at 39 new locations.
