Croatia to issue international arrest warrant for former Dinamo coach Reuters 2 days ago
ZAGREB, May 11 (Reuters) - Croatia is set to issue an international arrest warrant for former Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic who failed to report this week to serve his jail sentence for fraud, the Zagreb county court said on Tuesday.
Zoran Mamic s four years and eight months prison sentence was confirmed in March. He was due to turn up for serving the sentence by midnight on Monday. He is believed to be in Bosnia as he is also a Bosnian citizen. The Bosnian authorities must act on the arrest warrant and decide whether there are legal conditions met for Mamic to be handed over to Croatia, state news agency Hina quoted the court s spokesman Kresimir Devcic as saying.
Croatia issues international arrest warrant for Dinamo Zagreb ex-coach Zagreb (AFP) – Croatia issued an international arrest warrant for former Dinamo Zagreb coach Zoran Mamic on Tuesday after he failed to report to serve his prison term for a multi-million-euro fraud.
Mamic quit as the coach of the reigning Croatia champions in March after being sentenced to four years and eight months in jail for fraud involving player transfers, including star Luka Modric’s move to Tottenham.
He was supposed to report to a prison by midnight on Monday but failed to do so, a court spokesman in the capital Zagreb told AFP, adding that the tribunal asked police to issue the warrant.

The Ministry of Justice and Administration announced on Thursday that at this moment there are no grounds for further action on the request of Zoran Mamic, who asked to serve his prison sentence in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which was previously rejected by the Zagreb County Court.
This Ministry stressed that the Zagreb County Court informed him that the attached documentation – the convict’s application, personal data, and publicly available data, showed that the legal preconditions for sending a request to the competent body of BiH to take over the execution of the criminal verdict were not met.
