An inquiry into the 1981 convictions of six Croatian men, known as the “Croatian Six,” is raising doubts about the guilt of three of them. The men were convicted over an alleged plot in 1979 to bomb multiple targets in Sydney, including buildings and pipes. Multiple outlets report that the review finds “reasonable doubt” concerning the convictions of half of the group. ABC and other sources say the inquiry questions whether the prosecution evidence was sufficient to prove the men’s involvement beyond a reasonable doubt and notes long-running concerns that the matter may involve a miscarriage of justice. The Daily Mail and local coverage also describe the inquiry’s conclusion as casting doubt on whether some of the men could be innocent, following claims by the group that they were framed. The reports characterize the investigation as a re-examination of convictions decades after they were handed down, rather than a determination of innocence for all six. The inquiry’s findings focus specifically on three of the six convicted men.
