Croatia's state attorney has charged Croatia international and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric with giving false testimony in a criminal trial, the attorney's office in the eastern city of Osijek said on Friday. The statement did not name Modric, as is a standard practice in Croatia, but said it charged a 32-year old Croatian citizen, citing details from his testimony. The state attorney's office said last June it was investigating Modric for an alleged false testimony. He joined Real Madrid in 2012. Asked for comment, a Real Madrid spokesperson said: "Our official comments are made through our official media channels."
