Spanish citizen marijuana seizure Zagreb airport investigative detention drug trafficking

A 32‑year‑old Spanish citizen was arrested on 21 July 2026 at Zagreb’s Franjo Tuđman Airport with approximately 14.92 kg of marijuana concealed in a travel suitcase. Prosecutors allege the drugs were intended for resale on the illegal market and opened an investigation for unauthorised production and trafficking. The County Court in Velika Gorica (Županijski sud) accepted the State Prosecutor’s request and ordered investigative detention on 29 July 2026, citing a risk of flight and repetition of the offence.

The detention follows standard Croatian procedure for serious drug‑related crimes, aiming to prevent the suspect from evading trial while the case proceeds.
