There is no danger that evidence would be destroyed

Documentation was secured from Karlovac Brewery, and then on the spot inquiry was done, to secure all the evidence and facts were established linked to the leak of carbon dioxide.

The investigative judge estimated that there is no danger that the suspects would destroy the evidence or other traces important for the criminal proceedings or thwart in any way the process by influencing witnesses.
