"The murder was organised to prevent Pukanic from revealing in press and electronic media in Croatia and neighbouring countries journalistic findings about actions of several criminal groups in the region and their mutual links," the AFP quoted the Croatian state attorney's office as saying.
"Ubistvo je organizovano kako bi se sprečilo da Pukanić otkrije pisanim i elektronskim medijima u Hrvatskoj i susednim zemljama novinarske zaključke o postupcima nekoliko kriminalnih grupa u regionu i njihovoj međusobnoj povezanosti", navodi kancelarija hrvatskog državnog tužioca, a prenosi AFP.
