Abstract

The state attorney's office and the police are obliged by their work to strengthen citizens' trust in the institutions of the system every day in order to reduce the evil of criminal offenses for the benefit of the whole society, but due to long-term police investigations, long-term court investigations and long-term trials, Croatian society suffers severe consequences, citizens have lost faith in the ethics of administrative and
judicial bodies, they have lost hope and faith in a better future, they do not want to engage in politics, investors avoid the Croatian state in fear of anonymous reports and criminal prosecutions, and the police, state attorney's office and courts have imposed themselves as the benchmark of all values in society, by persecuting civil servants and officials, they become a supranational authority sui generis, they do not use their
discretionary rights positively, but use them in a very negative sense, they conduct lengthy investigations, conduct lengthy trials, and at the same time question the collective political decisions of the authorities, thus becoming an authority for themselves.

Keywords
