Corruption bureau releases all suspects in waste management probe

Anti-corruption investigators have released everyone detained in yesterday’s raids across Gospić, Benkovac, and Senj. The agency, USKOK, disclosed more details regarding thousands of tons of waste and falsified documents, with all individuals released without being taken into custody.

The head of the retail giant Fortenova says the company is nearing a debt-free status, a recovery he described as having seemed inevitable not long ago. The prospect of selling the Konzum supermarket chain remains on the table, even as the group looks at new acquisitions like the Studenac chain.

In Zagreb, the deputy mayor believes her party would win an election if it were held tomorrow, ruling out cooperation with the Most party. Meanwhile, a former German MP has warned that the ruling HDZ has become so embedded in the state’s institutions that the party is effectively exhausted.
