Agrokor's former main man fights on in the fog of London.
ZAGREB, September 6, 2018 - London's High Court on Thursday postponed until mid-October a hearing at which it is supposed to decide on the handover of businessman Ivica Todorić to Croatia, after lawyer James Hines, who defends the founder of the Croatian retail and food group Agrokor, told the court that the defence team had new evidence.
The court should make the final decision on whether Todorić will be extradited to Croatia.

ZAGREB, September 5, 2018 - The founder of the Agrokor food and retail conglomerate Ivica Todorić is due to appear before a high court in London on Thursday in a last-ditch attempt to avoid being extradited to Croatia to face allegations of fraud.
The ex Agrokor boss and current fugitive in London gave an interview to Dnevnik Nove TV ahead of the British ruling on his extradition to Croatia to face trial.
ZAGREB, August 23, 2018 - Finance Minister Zdravko Marić said on Thursday that he had not seen the whole transcript of depositions by former economy minister Martina Dalić and other witnesses questioned by the Office of the Chief State Prosecutor (DORH) which indicate, according to the commercial broadcaster N1, that Marić had been at more meetings about Agrokor than what he told the Conflict of Interest Commission.
Todorić refuses to go down without a fight, and now one of Serbia's most famous lawyers has been engaged by the former Agrokor boss to help.
Todorić remains between a rock and a hard place as his extradition looms.
