In a shocking turn of events, Croatia's health minister and several others have been detained on suspicion of corruption. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in Zagreb announced that Minister Vili Beroš, along with directors of two hospitals in Zagreb and two companies, are under investigation for alleged bribery, abuse of power, and money laundering.
Following the news, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic swiftly removed Beroš from his government position. The EPPO revealed that the suspects are accused of engaging in corrupt activities to secure financial gains for specific companies, including offering bribes to manipulate public procurement processes.
