A suspended Osijek County Court judge, Zvonko Vekic, and a friend of his, Nataša Sekulic, were arrested in Osijek on Wednesday morning on suspicion of money laundering, state agency Hina reported.

Vekić’s lawyer Gordana Vrandecic told Hina that at this point she did not know why her client had been arrested and when he would be interviewed.

Judge Vekic was arrested in June, along with two other judges from the same court, Anto Kvesic and Darko Kruslin, after the convicted former head of Dinamo Zagreb Football Club, Zdravko Mamic, accused them of taking €400,000 in bribes. The three judges were then subjected to disciplinary action, and the County Court president demanded that they be permanently relieved of their duties.

The anti-corruption body Uskok confirmed that the arrests had been made on suspicion of money laundering “in conjunction with criminal offenses against official duty which are the subject of an ongoing investigation.”
