Croatian police have been searching homes and offices after Zagreb mayor Milan Bandic was detained in a major operation over alleged corruption and abuse of office, alongside 18 other suspects.
The police operation involving 120 agents led by Croatia’s Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime continued on Monday after Bandic’s arrest the day before. Croatian media have speculated that the 19 suspects were arrested for fraud connected to the planned construction of a waste plant in Zagreb and to Bandic’s 2009-2010 presidential campaign.
Operation Agram (the German word for Zagreb) began with the arrests on Sunday afternoon and continued into the night with searches of the suspects’ homes.
