Daria Šimić was reportedly taken into custody during an operation conducted by Croatian authorities related to anti-corruption and organized crime, known as Uskok. According to reports, the police were involved in the apprehension. As of the time of reporting, neither Uskok nor the police had issued an official statement regarding the arrests.
In addition to Šimić, Nedo Livljanić, the former head of the tourism department for the Šibenik-Knin County, was also detained during the proceedings. The scope of the Uskok indictment previously encompassed several other individuals, including Zoran Prpić, the investor associated with the camp on Murter, alongside three other businessmen. The reports also detailed prior instances of arrests involving members of the same family.
Dario Šimić was previously arrested following the 2008 European Championship. Furthermore, his brother, Josip, a former professional footballer, was also arrested on charges related to allegedly operating a fictitious retail shop and tax evasion. The multiple detentions suggest ongoing investigations into financial irregularities and organized activity within the region.
The involvement of Uskok signals a significant state effort to investigate corruption. Authorities have maintained a low profile following the recent detentions, limiting official commentary on the current status of those arrested.
