Death of Brazilian national in Croatia
Overview
The family of Kathlyn Izabel Becker, a 28-year-old Brazilian woman, is seeking a Federal Police investigation into her death in Zagreb, Croatia. Becker, who had traveled to Europe to find work, was found dead in a hotel room in August with an “unidentified” cause of death listed on her certificate.
Her family has raised concerns regarding potential human trafficking, noting that Becker was reportedly brought to Croatia by unknown individuals after a job in Serbia did not materialize. They also stated she had been receiving threats prior to her passing.
Zagreb police have stated that no elements of a criminal offense have been identified in the death, though a criminal investigation remains ongoing in cooperation with the County State Attorney's Office.
