Without revealing the identity of the arrested person, the police in Vukovar-Srijem County stated that in coordination with the USKOK in the region of Slavonia, they are investigating a person suspected of having committed a criminal offence in connection with an official act.

Once the investigation is completed, the suspect will be taken into custody and the police will file a criminal complaint against him with the USKOK, according to the police statement.

The USKOK explained that the arrest and the urgent preservation of evidence were the result of a criminal investigation conducted by the Vukovar-Srijem County Police Department on its instructions.

The measures are being carried out in Slavonia and Zagreb against a person who is reasonably suspected of having committed a corruption offence, USKOK said.

Saric resigned from his position as a member of parliament last week.
