The robber of the bank in Split has been in prison for more than half of his life: he even managed to escape four times!
Officers may use fire weapons in four cases, according to the Police Act, which includes a necessary defense, the ultimate emergency, capturing the perpetrator of serious criminal offenses with sentences of at least 10 years in prison, and preventing those persons from escaping. Weapons can also be used if a person escapes from custody, during the arrest or when an arrest warrant for a serious criminal offense is issued.
– The state must protect the lives of police officers in each law, and such behaviors should be sanctioned. Although there are no perfect laws, our legal solutions are good, but they should be consistently applied – said the lawyer Fran Olujic.

« It may not be good what happened, but when someone with a weapon starts to plunder the bank in the immediate vicinity of the Police Directorate and the Court, the outcomes of such situations should not be surprised, » Cvrtila said.
Yesterday’s robbery of a bank in Split ended with a tragedy, when 65-year-old Fran Petrinovic was killed with police with police. Petrinovic served 20 years in prison in Australia for a robbery during a robbery. According to witnesses, the masked robber entered the bank, threatened with a gun and asked for money.
– This is probably a necessary defense, which is a legally complex term. I believe that the law should define more clearly the situations where the use of weapons is allowed, for example in protecting your own or someone else’s life. The police officer has to make a decision in a split second, and later that decision is subjected to a long legal analysis – says Cvrtila.
« Who’s the sword of the lace will be killed by the sword, » he concluded.
