Total Croatia News

ZAGREB, August 28, 2018 – Zagreb County Court decided on Tuesday that a trial against Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić will commence on 6 September in the case dubbed “public stands”, in which he is charged with enabling a nongovernmental association to use public stands for collecting signatures for a referendum petition in a non-transparent manner, and as such, allegedly defrauding the city budget of approximately 41,500 euro.

After today’s preparatory hearing before the court, Mayor Bandić declined to answer questions from the press.

Bandić is charged, together with Zagreb City official Ivica Lovrić and the director of Zagreb Markets Zdenka Palac, with enabling the association “In the Name of the Family” to use stands for collecting signatures for a referendum free of charge, thus defrauding the city budget of 308,000 kuna.

Bandić is also accused in a case dubbed Agram for defrauding the city budget for several million kuna.
