POLICE STARTS PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SENDER OF SUSPECTED MAIL TO HINA

ZAGREB, Nov 22 (Hina) - Zagreb police will initiate proceedings against the person who on Wednesday sent a letter containing a powder to Hina. The sender was Franjo Egri. Zagreb police spokeswoman Stanka Saraja told Hina police would process the case and if it is established that Franjo Egri was the sender, charges will be filed against him for spreading false and disturbing rumours. Saraja said that police would process the case without the perpetrator because, according to information at hand, Egri was currently in Slovenia, where he was born. She stressed police had been looking for Egri since 1998 when an international warrant for his arrest was issued for several counts of fraud. A man who said he was Franjo Egri, on Thursday telephoned Hina's secretary who opened the letter yesterday. He said he was calling from Slovenia and that he had sent letters containing the powder, which he said was flour
ZAGREB, Nov 22 (Hina) - Zagreb police will initiate proceedings against the person who on Wednesday sent a letter containing a powder to Hina. The sender was Franjo Egri. Zagreb police spokeswoman Stanka Saraja told Hina police would process the case and if it is established that Franjo Egri was the sender, charges will be filed against him for spreading false and disturbing rumours. Saraja said that police would process the case without the perpetrator because, according to information at hand, Egri was currently in Slovenia, where he was born. She stressed police had been looking for Egri since 1998 when an international warrant for his arrest was issued for several counts of fraud. A man who said he was Franjo Egri, on Thursday telephoned Hina's secretary who opened the letter yesterday. He said he was calling from Slovenia and that he had sent letters containing the powder, which he said was flour, to about two dozen addresses in Europe, among others to the Croatian parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic, Prime Minister Ivica Racan and MP Drazen Budisa. He said the reason for having sent the mail was that he wished to draw some attention since Hina did not want to broadcast his previous letters in which he criticised the government in Croatia. Apologising for the fear he caused, Egri told the secretary there was no reason to panic, since the powder was flour, not anthrax spores. Parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic also received a letter with powder on Wednesday, as did the Zagreb office of the French news agency France Prese (AFP). In 1997 Franjo Egri misrepresented himself as Croatia's authorised negotiator, that is, the Finance Ministry's negotiator for talks on a two billion dollar loan with American companies. Last year Egri also announced his candidacy as president of the republic, saying he would be collecting signatures via his attorney Ranko Radovic, who refuted his claims the very next day.
