ZAGREB, Dec 8 (Hina) - Ninoslav Pavic's lawyer on Friday wrote to
the minister of justice requesting confirmation of information
that a decision to launch criminal proceedings against her client
was made "at some sort of coordination meeting of representatives
of the police, the state prosecutor's office, and the judiciary."
Pavic, the co-owner and chairman of the board of press publisher
Europa Press Holding, was arrested on Monday evening on suspicion
of association to gain control of the Croatian media. He was
released on Wednesday because the police report was insufficiently
founded. The state prosecutor's office decided against an
investigation.
His lawyer Vesna Alaburic says in her letter the information she
received from several independent sources indicated the
participants in that meeting made a list of people who should have
been proclaimed members of a criminal organisation, formulated the
grounds of charges in connection with said organisation, and agreed
the beginning and course of the criminal proceedings.
Alaburic requested Minister Stjepan Ivanisevic to inform her if it
was correct that he was familiar with the launching of criminal
proceedings against her client.
