Jozo Rados said on Friday. #L#
Speaking at a press conference, Rados expressed surprise at
"Barbir's spectacular arrest, which appeared on newspaper covers
for three days", the more so, he said, if one considered the small
amount of money Barbir was suspected of embezzling and the
availability of all relevant documents to police.
"Not questioning his thoughtlessness in borrowing the 15,000 kuna,
we will try to protect Barbir's dignity and seek satisfaction if he
is found not to have committed a criminal act," Rados said, adding
that he was confident Barbir had performed his duties in a
responsible manner.
Barbir, who is suspected of abuse of his position and authority, was
relieved of duty at yesterday's government session at his own
request.
