Media speculations are incorrect, Lucin said, reiterating that
police were not tapping anyone nor had an investigating judge
issued such a warrant.
Lucin said that neither the Zadar County prefect nor the Zadar mayor
were being tapped.
The minister said that special measures were not used for any
criminal group in Zadar, except for the one connected to smuggling
and selling illegal drugs, but added that the group had been
arrested recently.
Lucin said there were two forms of wiretapping in Croatia -- the one
conducted by police on an investigative judge's order and the one by
the Counter-Intelligence Agency on an order of the Supreme Court.
Answering a reporter's question whether the Counter-Intelligence
Agency was bugging anyone in Zadar, Lucin said he could only
speculate, but that the issue was not in his ministry's
jurisdiction. Stressing that he cannot claim so, he said that it was
his opinion that the Counter-Intelligence Agency was not tapping
anyone either.
