The apartment, owned by the Croatian state, at perhaps the most attractive address in that country - Trg Bana Jelačića number 1, Zagreb, was used for prostitution, HRT learns.
HRT reports that the owner of the large apartment on the third floor is the state, but that she does not know who has been using it for free for years.
"There was probably talk of illegal activities. It's obviously about prostitution," said the head of the Real Estate Sector, Tomislav Volarević.
Sexual aids, intimate women's underwear, various alcoholic beverages were found in the apartment...
Croatian State Property Minister Goran Marić said that "these kinds of discoveries are not surprising" and that "they will not be able to do this again".
The Ministry of State Property points out that Croatia has so far lost more than 100 million euros due to unsettled relations with users of public real estate.
A possible hookup in the heart of Zagreb has been reported to the police, according to HRT.
