Zagreb: Real Madrid's Luka Modric was charged with giving false testimony at the corruption trial of Dinamo Zagreb's powerful former chief Zdravko Mamic, prosecutors said. In line with Croatian law the prosecutors did not name Modric as the indictee but identified him as a "Croatian citizen born in 1985." <>When questioned during investigations in 2015, Modric said the annex was signed after he joined Tottenham, according to the prosecutors. Mamic is considered the most powerful man in Croatian football and his connections extend into many spheres of public life. Most Croatian football fans see him as the real boss of the Croatian Football Federation and believe its formal chief Davor Suker is merely Mamic's puppet.
