" KAD KRADEŠ KRADI NA VELIKO !" SANADER JE BIO MALO PILE.

'CLUB' AS A TREASURE On the eve of his arrest, he drove 12 million from Slovenia, we find out who hid his money in Trešnjevka The cash found was not ‘in a pile’ and stacked but was in various envelopes By: Zeljko PetrusicPosted: October 3, 2020 9:06 am Dragan Kovacevic Dragan Kovacevic Cropix Facebook Twitter Messenger E-mail The famous "club" and the neighboring business premises in Slovenska 9 were definitely a place, as the police found out in the meantime, where the former and now detained boss of Janaf, Dragan Kovačević, stored huge amounts of money of dubious origin. Although the police did not find a significant amount of cash in the first raid in the premises he used, they later discovered that he had stored the cash at two addresses, in the garage of his friend Dean Sparavac's villa in Alfa Stan in Samobor. and to the apartment of another friend, in Božidara Adžije Street in Zagreb's Trešnjevka, where Kovačević's company Finkor also has an apartment and a garage. As Jutarnji list finds out, the "second friend", also a neighbor from Adžija 22, is entrepreneur Goran Puklin , who is not particularly known to the public, but it is certainly an interesting fact that he is the wife of longtime prosecutor, Zagreb Deputy State Attorney Mirela Alerić Puklin . It is, by the way, one of the three prosecutors who wrote the indictment in the Agrokor case. But let's go back to Kovačević and the found cash. At least 1.6 million euros in kunas, euros, dollars and Swiss francs were seized at the two locations. USKOK believes, as it was announced on Thursday, that the seized money comes from criminal acts, ie from bribes. Money in packs According to unofficial information, the found cash was not "in a pile" and arranged, but was in various envelopes, so it can be concluded that it came from several different sources. What is common is the location from which she was transferred to the mentioned addresses, from the premises in Slovenska 9. Namely, as we have already reported, on September 16 during the day Kovačević found out about the upcoming arrest and searches of the premises he used and started taking certain steps. with the aim, as can now be seen, of concealing cash and documentation. His abruptly changed behavior was spotted by police officers who secretly kept him under surveillance.

Here's what it's definitely not about On that day, Kovačević hecticly started moving things from one location to another, and at one point he also threw his mobile phones into the Sava, which were pulled out and "saved" by police divers in a short time. In addition to discarding his mobile phone, the police escort also noticed his departure for Slovenska 9. They also monitored him when he left the area, noting that he came out with the bags he had stored in the car, a Toyota Hilux. Because of everything, they even suspected that Kovačević was preparing to flee because he was heading in the direction of Bregana. However, Kovačević actually drove to Samobor with that pick-up, to the villa of his friend Šparavac, and "tidied up" the vehicle in his garage. We were not able to find out how and with which vehicle he returned to Zagreb. However, a subsequent search of the vehicle in the garage in Samobor established that he had taken more than a million euros in cash and certain documentation in bags from Slovenska 9. On the same day, he asked Goran Puklin to take the other part of the money, 2,593,800 kunas, 247,200 euros and 20,000 Swiss francs, and store them at his home in Adzija 22. Puklin did so and hid the money until Tuesday, September 29, when investigators knocked. at the door of the apartment he uses. The money was found during the search, and Puklin was arrested and subjected to a criminal investigation on suspicion of money laundering because, according to investigators, he knew that Kovacevic's money came from a crime. Puklin apparently admitted that the police reported him to USKOK, because after questioning in the prosecutor's office, he was not proposed to pre-trial detention, but was released to defend himself. It should be noted that Dean Sparavec was not included in the investigation because investigators did not find any evidence that he knew what was in Kovacevic's Toyota left in his garage in Samobor. Is that all? After all, the question arises whether this is all now or whether Kovacevic "stored" more cash at a third location. An investigation in that direction is reportedly ongoing. However, investigators have already seized and blocked an enormous amount of money in Kovacevic's accounts. In total, it is less than 19 million kuna, or a little more than 2.5 million euros. Namely, in addition to the mentioned at least one million euros found in Toyota in Samobor, and about 4.5 million kunas seized in Adžija 22, investigators blocked significant funds in his bank accounts, although Kovačević stated in his property card that he had no savings. However, he had about 650,000 euros in only one account in Addiko banka, and he had a deposit of approximately 160,000 euros in Zagrebačka banka, as well as an account with almost 800,000 kunas. Kovacevic also took the head of the Handball Federation as a lawyer In addition to lawyer Ivo Farčić , Dragan Kovačević decided to hire lawyer Tomislav Grahovac , the current president of the Croatian Handball Federation, of which Kovačević is vice president , as his defense attorney . Grahovac has been a lawyer for a long time, he was a trainee and associate with several well-known Zagreb criminal lawyers, then he worked as an independent lawyer, and now he runs the law firm Grahovac, Horvat and Žaper, which has seven lawyers and six trainees. However, Grahovac is known to the public primarily as the leading man in Croatian handball. He has been playing handball since he was a child, first as a boy in a handball school, then as a cadet and junior in Zagreb, a member of the Croatian national team, then as a volunteer coach, and then with full commitment. In the end, he reached out to officials and the president of the Croatian Handball Federation. He was elected to this position on March 22, 2016, after his predecessor Sandi Šola resigned, and Grahovac was also elected to the Arbitration Commission of the International Handball Federation. Probably, this "handball connection" was the reason why Kovačević decided to hire Grahovac, but it is also known that Kovačević has good relations with another vice president of HRS, Zoran Gopac . Apart from handball, it is not worth mentioning that lawyer Grahovac was also the defense attorney of some well-known HNS members in criminal proceedings, such as former Dubrovnik mayor Andro Vlahušić and HNS secretary general Srećko Ferenčak in the Nanbudo affair, and defending Ružica Njavro in the proceedings. which is being conducted against former Secretary of State and former Knin Mayor Josip Rimac . Grahovac is also defending Boris Buklijas , the former dean of the Split Faculty of Law, who is accused of embezzlement. ( Dusan Miljus ) Chronology 1.
