HNK Hajduk Split responds to DORH: 'Documents provided, no cause for concern'**

HNK Hajduk Split has publicly responded to claims by Croatia’s State Attorney’s Office (DORH) regarding criminal complaints against the club. Ljubo Pavasović Visković, chairman of the Supervisory Board and prominent attorney, dismissed concerns after DORH requested documentation from Hajduk. The club complied immediately, and routine checks are now underway.

HNK Hajduk Split currently sits second in the HNL with 68 points from 36 matches (20 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses), 18 points behind league leaders Dinamo Zagreb. Their latest result was a 6-3 win over Vukovar on May 22, 2026, while their recent form has been poor with one win, two draws, and two losses in the last five games.

What happened with DORH and Hajduk?

Ivan Turudić, Croatia’s Chief State Attorney, appeared on HTV’s Dnevnik and confirmed that DORH is investigating criminal complaints against Hajduk. A specific set of accounting documents was requested from HNK Hajduk Split, and the club promptly provided them, as Turudić confirmed. Pavasović Visković told Dalmatinski portal that the process is standard: DORH must review every complaint, regardless of its merits.

"DORH must carry out its checks. Of course we know who filed the complaint, even if it was anonymous," Pavasović Visković said. He stressed that the complaint stems from an interest group aiming to seize control of Hajduk’s management model, but emphasized the procedure is transparent and legally prescribed.

Why this isn’t a 'raid' on Hajduk

Pavasović Visković was clear: this is not a raid on Hajduk, but a standard procedure conducted by a state body. "A raid is something entirely different, and such narratives have been maliciously spread by certain media recently," he said. The club called on fans and supporters to remain calm, stressing there is no cause for concern.

HNK Hajduk Split is now undergoing routine checks, and the requested documentation was delivered immediately. Pavasović Visković also warned that certain interest groups will latch onto Turudić’s statement to launch baseless accusations, but noted this is predictable and part of a broader attack on the club’s management model.

What’s next for HNK Hajduk Split?

DORH is now reviewing the documents provided by Hajduk. The procedure is clear: every criminal complaint must be processed, regardless of its merits. Pavasović Visković stressed that routine activities by DORH will continue in the coming days, while Hajduk prepares for upcoming matches.

The club urged all supporters not to worry, as this is a standard procedure. HNK Hajduk Split currently sits second in the HNL with 68 points from 36 matches (20 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses), while their recent form has been poor with one win, two draws, and two losses in the last five games.
