Petricic acquitted of slander charges pressed against him by Mesic

Autor: mses
ZAGREB, March 29 (Hina) - Political scientist and media pundit Darko Petricic was on Thursday acquitted of slandering former Croatian President Stjepan Mesic who filed a private defamation lawsuit against him before the Zagreb Municipal Court.

According to the ruling, which can be appealed, Petricic did not defame Mesic but made a serious criticism of a politician with no intent to slander or insult Mesic.

Mesic sued Petricic in late 2009 after Petricic said in the media that Mesic had links to the Albanian mafia, which allegedly financed his presidential campaign, and that he was one of the three richest people in Croatia.

Mesic, who did not appear at today's sentencing hearing, will have to cover the costs of the court proceedings.
