CroatiaA police officer named A. Z. testified at the Municipal Court in Karlovac regarding the 'Nakaze' case, stating she was pressured by superiors not to report Ann Dujić. The Union of Judicial Police in Croatia has supported her and highlighted two recent cases within their jurisdiction where reports of misconduct continue. They argue that the 'Nakaze' case reflects a broader issue: whether a public servant can report wrongdoing without considering who is above them or what protections the person against whom the report is made has. The union claims similar situations exist within the prison system, citing an example where a staff member held a leadership role while a family member worked as a judicial police officer in the same facility. Despite this, the manager was eventually replaced, while the family member faced criminal charges and served time in prison. Another judicial police officer reportedly resisted such abuses but faced daily pressure and psychological abuse. He now seeks satisfaction through the court, while the former leader, who allegedly maltreated colleagues, continues working in the system.
