ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Croatia's health minister and several others were detained on Friday on suspicion of corruption as part of an investigation launched by the European prosecutor's office, authorities said. Minister Vili Beroš, directors of two hospitals in Zagreb, Croatia's capital, and two companies are suspected of "accepting and giving bribes, abuse of position and authority and money laundering," the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, or EPPO, in Zagreb said in a statement. Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković promptly sacked Beroš from the government, HRT state television said.
