Former Split mayor arrested at Oliver memorial concert

The former mayor of Split and businessman Željko Kerum was arrested during a memorial concert for Oliver Dragojević in Veli Lukah, reportedly linked to an investigation into a controversial guesthouse in Kaštel. The arrest is connected to the 'Konoba Pršut' scandal, which involves illegal construction on land classified as a high-value agricultural area. The Telegram portal initially reported that the restaurant and associated complex, including a pool, machinery hall, chapel, and other structures, were built illegally. Despite the building inspection confirming the illegality and ordering their removal, the restaurant continued operations. Local authorities later issued a decision allowing legalization, though it did not match the actual conditions on-site. The Croatian Agency for Prevention of Corruption and Organized Crime (Uskok) has not yet released official details of the investigation or specific criminal charges against Kerum and others.

Bias read (Center): The article presents information about the arrest of a former local official and connects it to an ongoing corruption investigation.
