CroatiaRanko Ostojić, former SDP minister, commented on the arrest of former Croatian football player Dario Šimić in an anti-corruption operation by Uskok and police. Šimić was arrested for illegally obtaining permits for a camp in Tisno. Ostojić used this news to remind people of Šimić’s past statement during a marriage referendum, where he claimed to be a descendant of Adam and Eve from Noah’s Ark. Ostojić expressed sympathy for Adam and Eve as a parent but criticized Šimić for engaging in criminal activity, referencing his brother Josip Šimić, who was also arrested last year for suspected tax evasion and fictitious trade. Šimić had made the claim about being a descendant of Adam and Eve in a 2013 interview, later clarifying that he had made a mistake due to a lengthy interview and intended to express belief in the meaning of life through faith.
