Investigation Started Against Dubrovnik Police?

Text

Dragan Palameta and Ivica Rudinovic are allegedly the focus of the investigation, but not for involvement in Britt Lapthorne´s murder.

DUBROVNIK, CROATIA - As a part of the investigation into the circumstances of Britt Lapthorne’s death, divers from the intervention unit of the Dubrovnik-Neretva police will dive in the Dance Bay where Britt’s body was found, said the head of that police department Zlatko Sokolar.

The divers’ task is to find the girl’s Canon camera, due to the possibility that the girl photographed the people that might be linked to the investigation. The search was planned earlier, but poor weather conditions delayed it.

Police officers Dragan Palameta and Ivica Rudinovic who are from the same police department are allegedly the focus of a criminal processing, and they are suspected by the Australian media for attempting to arrest various foreign tourists in Dubrovnik. However, the officers are not being investigated for anything in the Britt Lapthorne case, but for “checking the possible overstepping of authority during a night intervention against alcoholised youth”.
