ZAGREB, June 19, 2020- Two police officers have been suspended from duty and face disciplinary action following an incident on June 11 when one of them caused slight injuries to an illegal migrant while the other did not stop him or report him, the Karlovac Police Department said on Friday.
The two officers have been placed in custody and face disciplinary action for a serious breach of duty.
According to the police statement, on the evening of June 11, a foreign national was brought to the police station in Slunj with visible injuries. The man at first did not want to say what had happened, and when he did, his statement was different from those made by the two police officers who brought him in. A subsequent investigation found that one of the police officers slightly injured the foreign national, while the other failed to prevent such action and did not report him.
