The principal defendant, Petar Cosic, 52, is also accused of the murder of Milan Milovac, 47, who collaborated with the Belgrade drug lord Darko Saric.

Zagreb County Court on Wednesday ruled that secretly taped phone calls of Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic and other persons must be taken out of the indictment put forward by Croatia's anti-graft body, the Office for Supressing Corruption and Organised Crime, USKOK.

Police arrested Mamic early on Wednesday morning along with four other people, on an arrest warrant issued by Croatian Office for Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime, USKOK.
