The Zagreb County Court has confirmed an indictment against former Croatian Health Minister Vili Beroš and two others regarding a corruption case involving the rigged procurement of medical robotic devices and microscopes for several hospitals.

According to USKOK, an organized group manipulated public tenders between 2022 and 2024, causing an estimated loss of over 740,000 euros to the state budget through inflated equipment prices. Beroš is specifically accused of receiving 75,000 euros in bribes. While several individuals involved in the scandal have previously reached plea agreements, Beroš and former hospital directors Goran Roić and Tomo Pavić have denied the allegations.
