Journalist Vojislav Mazzocco informed the Croatian Journalists’ Association that Tomo Medved, the Minister of Croatian Veterans, contacted him by phone on Sunday, June 3, 2018 at 14:46, nervous about his article dealing with Minister’s son’s employment at the Agency for Commercial Activities. „During the conversation that lasted 15 minutes, the Minister did not even try to dispute any of the facts stated in the article. Instead, he threatened me saying: Do you want to enter into the ring with me? If you want it, we will do it. If you touch my son again it will raise the military spirit in me. Do you want me to publish a press release next week about the way you came to the Ministry of Defense, through which tender and how much money you received? I have a drawer full of documents and I know who you worked with and who you worked for. Whom do you serve, Mr. Mazzocco? Whom?“, Mazzocco said. One hour later, Mazzocco reported those threats to the 5th Police Station in Bauerova Street in Zagreb.
