MP Ante Djapic Under Investigation for Corruption

A contract for business cooperation that was made between Ante Djapic and Vlado Zec has been under investigation for some time.

The Pozega State Attorney’s Office has been carrying out an investigation concerning Ante Djapic and Vlado Zec, the owner of Kamen Ingrad. In Osijek an investigation is being carried out in cooperation with the taxation office, concerning Djapic’s assets, reports Jutarnji List.

Both investigations are closely related to the “Contract on Business Cooperation” between Djapic and Vlado Zec. Robert Petrovecki, who was once a member of USKOK (Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime), and today is a State Attorney in Zlatar, rejected the contract as evidence in August 2008, because of which he was suspended.

Bound himself to buy apartment

“The contract on business cooperation” was signed on January 30, 2004, which bound Vlado Zec to finance the HSP (Croatian Party of Rights) convention, to buy Djapic an apartment in Zagreb, and renovate his family home. Djapic bound himself to make sure Zec took a high party position, to cancel his debt to the state, and to solve his problems with the quarry.

The decision on rejecting his contract as evidence became known to the public when Dobroslav Paraga, the head of HSP, tried to initiate a offence report against Djapic, and he requested that Djapic lose his immunity.

Paraga is the author of the offence report that seeks criminal processing from USKOK for corruption, the misuse of position and gaining of illegal assets. However, Paraga could not file the report because Petrovecki concluded that there is no proof that Djapic had personal profit.
