ZAGREB, Feb 4 (Hina) - President of the Graphics and Publications Union, Stjepan Kolaric considers that Thursday night's arrest of Miroslav Kutle is a sign that the country has begun to function justly and proves that the unions were
correct when they warned of illegal activities in Tisak and Slobodan Dalmacija which at the time was the cause of their strikes. "Kutle could not have become the owner of 160 companies without the support of the political leadership. Many countries have Mafia gangs but it appears our Mafia had its own state", Kolaric said in a statement for Hina.

Union, Stjepan Kolaric considers that Thursday night's arrest of
Miroslav Kutle is a sign that the country has begun to function
justly and proves that the unions were correct when they warned of
illegal activities in Tisak and Slobodan Dalmacija which at the
time was the cause of their strikes.
"Kutle could not have become the owner of 160 companies without the
support of the political leadership. Many countries have Mafia
gangs but it appears our Mafia had its own state", Kolaric said in a
statement for Hina.
Kolaric reminded that his union had filed for charges to be pressed
against Tisak's board of directors in December however, these were
not attended to by the former authorities due to their
involvement.
"Many direct participants of this affairs are now trying to show
their loyalty to the new government, why did they not act sooner
with criminal charges" Kolaric asks.
The union filed for criminal charges late last year due to suspicion
that members of Tisak's board of directors had embezzled about 4.5
million German marks.
