Ante Todorić Rejects Charges

Ante Todorić stated to the media on Friday that he rejected the charges at the state attorney’s office that he is guilty of abuse in business operations and forgery of documents in the Agrokor case, and he did not respond to the question of where his father is.

– As I promised, I came to Croatia. I denied everything that has been attributed to me. The investigation is ongoing, I have no further comments, thank you, said the son of Ivica Todorić in front of the entrance to Kulmer’s Court, where he arrived after presenting his defense at the state attorney’s office regarding suspicions that he, along with other suspects in the Agrokor case, enabled his father to obtain more than one billion kuna in undue profit.

His lawyer Fran Olujić confirmed to reporters that Ante Todorić is charged with abuse in business operations and forgery of documents.

– I do not know if he is staying in Croatia, he came to see family, and after that, he will probably return to London. He does not know where Ivica or Ivan Todorić are, added Olujić.

Ante’s father Ivica, who is the only one of all 15 suspects in the Agrokor case to be placed in investigative detention, is still not available to the Croatian judiciary, so an arrest warrant will most likely be issued for him.

The younger son Ivan Todorić is also unavailable, and unlike his brother, whose lawyers previously revealed he was in London, Ivan’s address is not known. His lawyer Jasna Novak was not available for comment on Friday.

Along with Todorić and his sons, the suspects in the Agrokor case include Alojzije Pandžić, Damir Kuštrak, Hrvoje Balent, Ivica Crnjac, Olivio Discordia, Marijan Alagušić, Sanja Hrstić, Mislav Galić, Tomislav Lučić, Piruška Canjuga, Ljerka Puljić, and Ivica Sertić, who were arrested on Monday. All were members of the management or supervisory board at Agrokor, while Discordia and Hrstić are employees of the auditing firm Baker Tilly, which prepared audit reports for Agrokor.

All suspects are charged with multiple economic crimes and forgery offenses, specifically for abuses in business operations, forgery of documents, and illegal bookkeeping.
