Banožić Trial: Defense Shifts Blame, Contradicting Earlier Interview

Zagreb, Croatia. The trial of former Croatian Defence Minister Mario Banožić is underway following a traffic accident that resulted in a fatality a year and a half ago. Banožić's defense is attempting to shift responsibility to the victim, claiming the victim was intoxicated. However, this contradicts a previous RTL interview where Banožić attributed his own blood alcohol content to medical procedures. The reporter states, "Banožić's defense is now shifting blame to the victim, claiming he was drunk." This case highlights the complexities of legal proceedings and public accountability for high-profile figures. The trial's outcome will have significant implications for the public's trust in political leaders.
