state attorney's office in Zagreb

A human rights NGO, the Center for Peace Studies, filed a criminal complaint on Friday to the Croatian State Attorney's Office against "unknown perpetrators" from the police, "based on a reasonable doubt of degrading treatment and torture of 33 people and their violent, illegal expulsion from the territory of the Republic of Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina".

Zagreb County Court spokesman Kresimir Devcic said the court had decided that former Agrokor boss Ivica Todoric can avoid pre-trial jail by paying a hefty bail sum.

"The judges have altered the decision of the investigating judge regarding bail. They believe that, with appropriate precautions in place, bail can serve the same purpose as investigative detention," Devcic said.

The Croatian Interior Ministry confirmed Tuesday that police had received information that Ivica Todoric, owner and founder of Croatian giant Agrokor, turned himself in to London police on Tuesday morning.

A former executive from the ailing Croatian conglomerate Agrokor, Mislav Galic, was questioned at the state attorney's office in Zagreb on Tuesday and presented a document which allegedly shows how all the major financial decisions were made by company's owner and founder Ivica Todoric.

Former workers at the Sljeme meat company rallied on Monday in front of the state attorney's office in Zagreb to publicise what they said were Bandic's crimes.
