In Zagreb on September 2, 2024, a police operation was carried out in which a 48-year-old citizen of the Republic of Serbia was arrested in Sesvete. He is a person for whom an international arrest warrant was issued by Interpol for escaping from prison in Serbia, where he was supposed to serve a prison sentence for committing criminal offenses. Along with him, three other foreign nationals were arrested, including two citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and one citizen of Montenegro.

During the police operation, the 48-year-old fugitive was found in a house together with a 22-year-old citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a 34-year-old citizen of Montenegro, who were also arrested for illegal stay in Croatia. Additionally, there was also a 19-year-old citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the house, who had 3.9 grams of marijuana. His residence status in Croatia was regulated, but he will face a criminal charge for violating the Drug Abuse Prevention Act.

According to available information, the fugitive from Serbia, after his arrest, was transported to the County Court in Zagreb to initiate the extradition procedure. The arrest is the result of cooperation between several international institutions, including Interpol, which issued a "red notice" for this individual. This event reflects increasing international cooperation in the fight against organized crime and fugitives attempting to evade justice by hiding in other countries.

This case serves as a reminder of a series of similar incidents in the region, including recent cases where regional police forces collaborated in the arrest of fugitives connected to serious criminal offenses, such as terrorist attacks and organized crime. Such cases often require coordination between multiple countries and international bodies, and the results of such operations demonstrate their effectiveness in combating cross-border crime.

The operation in Sesvete also demonstrated the determination of Croatian authorities to respond quickly and effectively to threats posed by foreign nationals with illegal stays or those who are fleeing the law in their home countries. The arrest of these individuals represents an important step in strengthening security and the rule of law in Croatia.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
