Press release

Croatia: Four arrested on suspicion of abuse of position and authority in investigation involving General Public Health Clinic Zagreb In Croatian below / Na hrvatskom u nastavku (Luxembourg, 17 October 2025) – The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in Zagreb (Croatia) has initiated an investigation against four individuals suspected of abuse of position and authority, and of incitement to abuse of position and authority, in connection to fraud involving renovation works at the General Public Health Clinic in Zagreb. All suspects have been arrested yesterday at the request of the EPPO, following investigative measures conducted in cooperation with the National Police Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime (Policijski nacionalni ured za suzbijanje korupcije i organiziranog kriminaliteta). According to the investigation, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia had assigned to the General Public Health Clinic a grant of €389 723.15, with funds provided from the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) and the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), to renovate a part of the clinic due to damages caused by an earthquake. It is believed that two senior managers of the General Public Health Clinic in Zagreb manipulated the procurement procedure for the renovation to ensure that the contract was awarded to a favoured company. This was allegedly requested by another employee of the clinic, the third suspect, who is related to the fourth suspect, owner of the company that was ultimately awarded the contract.   more   Hrvatska: Četiri osobe uhićene zbog sumnje na zlouporabu položaja i ovlasti u istrazi koja obuhvaća Dom zdravlja u Zagrebu (Luxembourg, 17. listopada 2025.) – Ured europskog javnog tužitelja (EPPO) u Zagrebu (Hrvatska) pokrenuo je istragu protiv četiri osobe osumnjičene zbog zlouporabe položaja i ovlasti te poticanja na zlouporabu položaja i ovlasti, a u vezi prijevare povezane s radovima na obnovi Doma zdravlja u Zagrebu. Svi su osumnjičenici uhićeni jučer na zahtjev EPPO-a, nakon istražnih radnji provedenih u suradnji s Policijskim nacionalnim uredom za suzbijanje korupcije i organiziranog kriminaliteta. Iz rezultata istrage proizlazi osnovana sumnja da je Ministarstvo zdravstva Republike Hrvatske dodijelilo Domu zdravlja bespovratna sredstva u iznosu od 389.723,15 eura, koja su sredstva osigurana iz Fonda solidarnosti Europske unije (FSEU) i Mehanizma za oporavak i otpornost (MOO) Europske unije, za sanaciju štete uzrokovane potresom. Postoji osnovana sumnja da su odgovorne osobe Doma zdravlja u Zagrebu manipulirale postupkom nabave za obnovu kako bi osigurale da posao dobije unaprijed odabrano trgovačko društvo. To je zatražio jedan drugi zaposlenik Doma zdravlja, treće osumnjičenik, koji je rođak četvrtog osumnjičenika, vlasnika društva kojemu je na kraju dodijeljen posao.   more
