Entrepreneur Tomislav Horvatinčić was arrested and placed under investigation for allegedly violating a court-ordered driving ban in Zagreb. The ban was a consequence of a 2011 maritime accident that caused the deaths of an Italian couple. Although Horvatinčić had obtained a valid driver's license earlier in the year, authorities clarified that holding a license is distinct from judicial prohibitions on operating motor vehicles.

Initially, a judge ordered one month of investigative detention, much of which was intended to be served as house arrest with electronic monitoring. However, an extraordinary council of the Zagreb County Court later denied the request for house arrest following a prosecution appeal. Horvatinčić, who is nearly 79 and an oncology patient, must remain in the Remetinec investigative prison. He faces charges for failing to comply with a court decision, which carries a potential sentence of up to two years.
