PRAGUE, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Orco Property Group
chief executive Jean-Francois Ott was detained by police in
Croatia for questioning on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the Czech
real estate developer said.
Petra Zdenkova told Reuters police have not brought any charges against Ott, who was in Zagreb for Monday's general meeting of Orco's Suncani Hvar unit which operates hotels on the Adriatic coast.
She said police were guarding Ott at a hotel and have told him he would be questioned at 1400 GMT. She said Orco expected he would be released later.
'He is supposed to be questioned ... and answer questions by police from (the city of) Split,' Zdenkova said.
Croatia, which has a minority stake in Suncani Hvar, has been at odds with Orco about financial matters related to the company.
