Big turnaround in the trial for the assassination of the mayor; key witness: My life and the family's life is in danger

The article reports on a trial involving members of the Amić family in Croatia, who are accused of ordering the murder of Josip Seuček, the mayor of Udbina, as well as the murders of farmer Zlatko Brestak and Slavko Udorović, along with other charges such as arson and poisoning livestock. The key witness in the case is Tomislav Marjanović, who initially claimed he was hired by the Amićs to carry out these crimes but later retracted his statement, claiming he was coerced into giving false testimony under pressure from Seuček and the police. Marjanović has a criminal background, having been involved in organized crime and serving multiple prison sentences. He previously testified against others in high-profile cases, including the murder of Ivica Pukanić and Nikica Franjić. His credibility is questioned due to his past involvement in criminal activities.
