"I plead not guilty, I answered all the questions by the judge and
prosecutors, but there is no need to speak about it in public,"
Krpina told reporters.
The association of Slobodna Dalmacija daily stockholders pressed
charges against Krpina for embezzlement in the daily.
According to the charges, Krpina and Ivic Pasalic of the HDZ had
pressured the then director of Splitska bank, Frano Mitrovic to
directly sell Slobodna Dalmacija stocks to Miroslav Kutle's
"Globus Holding", under the nominal and not the real value of the
stocks. The bank and the daily suffered damages of at least
DM6,300,000, the association of Slobodna Dalmacija stockholders
said.
Both Pasalic and Kutle, who were heard earlier this month, also
entered a plea of not guilty.
