The anti-corruption agency USKOK conducted a series of arrests and searches in Zagreb, Osijek, and Zagorje. The targets include a hospital logistics chief accused of stealing from public procurement and the illegal assignment of community service. The operation centers on allegations of corruption and theft involving multiple individuals suspected of targeting public funds.
In Gospić, a factory investor who has already spent 10 million euros is threatening a lawsuit after being told their construction permit will be revoked. In the capital, tram lines failed during the morning rush hour, forcing commuters onto replacement buses. Meanwhile, the State Inspectorate has proposed using secret shoppers to police the tourism industry and faster demolition for illegal buildings, noting that its own inspectors are opting for early retirement.
A polar vortex is expected to bring snow and winds of 130 km/h to the region. In sports, Dinamo Zagreb is searching for a new coach and is reportedly pursuing a candidate they recently eliminated from the Champions League. Additionally, in the capital's pharmacies, experts are calling for urgent restrictions as people flock to stores to earn millions, leading to alarm among officials.
