Josip Gasparac, a long-serving inspector in the Zagreb police, has been suspended for reporting singer Marko Perkovic Tompson, writes Jutarnji List. A criminal complaint was filed on suspicion that Tompson had been guilty of racial and other forms of discrimination during a concert on Bana Jelacica Square in the Croatian capital on May 30, “to the detriment of Croatia, its citizens and national minorities,” writes the Zagreb daily. Policeman in trouble for reporting pro-Nazi singer The complaint applies to Tompson as well as other “unknown perpetrators” who are suspected of complicity in these crimes. The Croat singer has been criticized for glorifying Croatia's WW2 Nazi puppet Ustasha regime, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Romas and Jews. Among other things, it is said that the complaint was filed on the grounds that certain lyrics at the concert had led a significant number of visitors “to make outbursts displaying hatred to other national minorities with calls to murder,” citing as proof footage of the concert broadcast on several TV channels. Right after learning of his suspension on June 6, for which he received no written explanation, Gasparac was forced to hand over his badge and weapon, and leave his place of work. The inspector was told that disciplinary proceedings had been launched against him “for serious breaches of discipline and unbecoming conduct on duty and off.” Today, reacting to the reports, Croatian police denied that the suspension had anything to do with the Tompson case. But president of the Croatian Jewish Community Slavko Goldstein wrote in Jutarnji List that Gasparac knows the exact reason for his suspension without any need for detailed explanations—his decision to report the singer. In accordance with standard procedure, Gasparac first informed his immediate superior that he would file such a complaint, and then, on the orders of his superior, held consultations with the deputy public prosecutor, before sending to Crnomerec police station an application signed by his superior for Tompson to be brought in for questioning. However, the police station in question responded that “the immediate reasons had stopped, and that the summons did not need to be delivered to Perkovic.” This order was allegedly issued by the deputy chief of Zagreb police, says Goldstein.
