Luka Modric testified Tuesday before the Osijek court at the trial of 57-year-old Zdravko Mamic. The former boss of Dinamo Zagreb is suspected of having diverted with his alleged accomplices 15.6 million euros, especially during fraudulent transfers. While cheating the tax of 1.6 million.
If a tax inspector and a Federation executive (HNS) Damir Vrbanovic are also tried, the big beneficiaries of these diversions would be Zdravko and his brother coach Zoran, amounting to 12 million euros.
Modric explains his Tottenham transfer
31-year-old Luka Modric headed off to the witness bar to comment on his transfer from Dinamo to Tottenham in 2008. He left England for Real Madrid in 2012: "I went to Tottenham for about 21 million euros and I received some of the money from this transfer," under an agreement with Dinamo providing half-and-half gains.
"When Tottenham money arrived on the Dinamo account, I received half of it, " he said. Subsequently, Modric took this money and in turn gave it about half to Zdravko Mamic by virtue of, he said, an individual agreement between him and his former boss. Appearing nervous throughout his testimony, Luka Modric pointed out that he had not given the money personally to Zdravko Mamic, but to the son and brother of the latter.
