ZAGREB, Croatia – Croatia's prime minister fired the interior and justice ministers and the country's police chief Monday, hours after the “mafia-style” killing of a prominent lawyer's daughter.

Ivo Sanader's moves suggest he blames the three officials for not doing enough to fight organized crime in the country. Criminal gangs have flourished in Croatia since the war in the 1990s. Several groups are widely known to operate in Zagreb and other cities.

Ivana Hodak, 26, was shot twice in the head in the hallway of her home in downtown Zagreb on Monday – just a block away from police headquarters.

Sanader said the killing was an “awful tragedy that we fully condemn.”

“We will no longer tolerate organized crime and mafia killings,” he said without elaborating.

The killing was under investigation and no suspects had been named.

The killing of Hodak came after a series of recent attacks in Zagreb, in which three men – including a journalist and a former city employee – were badly beaten.

No perpetrators have been found and prosecuted in those attacks, triggering mounting criticism that the authorities were incapable – or unwilling – to fight crime.

But Sanader said his government “won't allow organized crime to make the impression that they can do whatever they want” and will draft an anti-mafia law.
