The Bjelovar County Prosecutor's Office has issued an indictment against the well-known local businessman Zdravko Pevec and his wife Visnja Pevec for abuse of office, business malfeasance and book-keeping irregularities, the Office stated on its web site on Tuesday, revealing only the initials of the suspects.

The County Prosecutor's Office demanded the extension of detention for the Pevec couple. It dropped the prosecution of the third suspect, Dragica Barisic, who used to be the Pevecs' book-keeper.

A total of 12 witnesses have so far been questioned in a probe into allegations that the Pevecs syphoned off some HRK 20 million from their two companies.
