Former Croatia international and AC Milan defender Dario Simic is arrested in an anti-corruption operation related to a coastal campsite development, according to local media and his lawyer. Reports say the arrest occurs on Tuesday, with photographs circulating online that show Simic in handcuffs leaving a police vehicle. Neither police nor anti-graft prosecutors have publicly confirmed the arrest.
The probe, as described by Balkan Insight, focuses on allegations that Simic is suspected of illegally obtaining permits to operate a campsite business. The reports add that the suspected conduct involves assistance from a former official who previously led a county tourism department. The case is presented as part of a broader anti-corruption effort tied to development and licensing in the coastal tourism sector. While the sources agree on Simic’s arrest and the permit-related allegations, official confirmation of specific charges and details of the evidence is not yet available in the cited reporting.
