Croatian PM sacks health minister amid corruption probe

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković sacked his health minister, Vili Beros today amid reports in local media that the minister had been arrested and his home raided during a corruption investigation. Several others were also detained on corruption charges by anti-graft authorities. Local media reported that the arrest was connected to an ongoing probe into a scheme involving the procurement of medical equipment. Since taking power in 2016, several ministers from Prime Minister Andrej Plenković’s conservative HDZ party have stepped down amid graft allegations.
