Consider that the last, I'll say on the matter. Maybe next time, we can have a discussion that doesn't devolve into a mongoloid shit slinging with the first several posts.

Administrator Stan 18,366 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted June 6, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44381167 Quote He is considered the most powerful figure in football in Croatia, but now Zdravko Mamic has been sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for corruption. Mamic was found guilty of siphoning off millions of euros in transfer fees when he was an executive at Dinamo Zagreb. On the eve of the verdict he fled across the border into Bosnia. Among the ex-Dinamo players caught up in the trial is Croatia captain Luka Modric, who was charged with perjury. The Real Madrid midfielder is suspected of having made false statements during the trial, when he was questioned about his 2008 transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. He has not commented on the charge. The case will not affect his role in the World Cup in Russia later this month. Zdravko Mamic was not just chief executive of Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia's biggest club, he was also vice-president of the Croatian Football Federation (HNS). For years fans at Dinamo alleged that he and his allies had used their club to make money for themselves by depriving the club of funds from lucrative transfers and evading taxes. Then in 2015 he and his brother Zoran, the Dinamo coach, were arrested. The scandal was brought on to the international stage when Croatian football supporters threw flares on the pitch at the Euro 2016 championships in France. Charged with diverting 116m Croatian kuna (€15.7m; £14m) from the football club and evading another 12.2m in tax, Mamic was later shot and wounded on a visit to his father's grave. The court in Osijek also handed down jail terms to his brother Zoran Mamic, former club director Damir Vrbanovic, and tax inspector Milan Pernar. None of the accused were in court to hear their sentences, but they have all denied the charges and have the right to appeal. The night before the verdict Zdravko Mamic fled to a shrine at Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he holds dual citizenship. Whatever he did there, supporters of Dinamo Zagreb will feel that their prayers have been answered. They have been protesting against Mr Mamic's stewardship of the club for years. Dinamo is supposed to be a fan-owned, non-profit organisation. But fans claimed that Mr Mamic and his associates had staged a "silent privatisation", with the aim of sucking money out of the club. The best-known supporters' group, The Bad Blue Boys, have been boycotting matches - making for an eerie atmosphere at Zagreb's Maksimir Stadium. Some formed a breakaway club, Futsal Dinamo. Now the court has agreed with the supporters' interpretation of Mr Mamic's modus operandi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,366 Posted October 3, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted October 3, 2018 Modric cleared of perjury charge https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45733425 Quote A Croatian court has rejected a charge of perjury against Luka Modric, recently named as the best football player in the world. Croatian prosecutors have accused him of giving false testimony at the trial of an ex-executive of his former club Dinamo Zagreb. It related to Mr Modric's transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in 2008. A Zagreb criminal court rejected the accusation against Mr Modric, although its ruling can be appealed. The trial involved Dinamo chief executive Zdravko Mamic and three officials, all sentenced to prison over embezzled funds from player transfers - though Mamic fled the country to Bosnia. It is thought the embezzlement cost Dinamo Zagreb more than €15m (£13.1m; $16.7m), and the state €1.5m. That verdict is being appealed. Croatian media report that the Zagreb municipal criminal court said the perjury charge against Mr Modric was "premature" because the verdict in the corruption trial itself was not yet final. The corruption charge centres around precisely when he signed an annex to his contract which established the terms for future transfer fees. Prosecutors claimed Mr Modric falsely said he had signed it in July 2004, but had actually signed it in 2008 when he had already left the club. They alleged the player changed his testimony in favour of Mamic. The reprieve comes weeks after Mr Modric was voted as the best men's player of the year at the Fifa awards, in recognition of his performance at both club level and at the World Cup. Croatia came second in the global summer tournament, losing to France in the final. Mr Modric was also awarded the golden ball - a World Cup award for the best player of the tournament.
