Asked by an MP of the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), Zeljko
Pavlic, about the whereabouts of illegally earned money on accounts
in foreign banks, which, Pavlic said, was estimated at about eight
billion kuna, Lucin said that the interior ministry had requested
international legal assistance and Interpol's help.
One such case is being processed for more than a year, but it is
difficult to come by information, because a banking secret is
scared anywhere, Lucin said.
The answer did not satisfy Pavlic, however, and, recalling that
something similar had been answered a year ago, he said "it turns
out there is no political will to solve these cases".
