ZADAR COUNTY STATE ATTORNEY REQUESTS INVESTIGATION, DETENTION FOR JURJEVIC, MARCINKO AND BASIC

ZADAR, Aug 7 (Hina) - Deputy State Prosecutor for Zadar County Slobodan Denona on Wednesday submitted a request to the Zadar County Court investigating judge demanding an investigation against and detention for Ante Jurjevic, owner of 'Zadarkomerc' company, Marko Marcinko, former chairman of the Glumina Bank management board, and Josko Basic, owner of 'Infrastruktura' company. The Zadar County police on Tuesday pressed charges with the Zadar County State Prosecutor's Office against Jurjevic, Marcinko and Basic, all suspected of having abused office and forged official documents. Investigating judge Milan Pecina on Tuesday evening ordered 48- hour detention for the three suspects. Their attorneys appealed against the decision and the appeal is to be decided about by the Zadar County Court. Marcinko and Basic are suspected of having obtained an illegal gain of 25,874,484 kuna for Jurjevic by transferring his obligations towards the Glumina Bank d.d. worth DM 7,245,928 to other legal and physical entities by using fictitious contracts. In doing so, they intentionally failed to implement the valid models of securing the collection of the bank's claims. (hina) rml
