Croatian authorities have charged 23 individuals following an incident involving antisemitic and pro-Nazi chants before a soccer match. The chants, including “Crush the Jews” and “Rise up Adolf,” were reportedly made by ultranationalist fans of Hajduk Split last week. The chants occurred ahead of a game against a Dutch team perceived to have Jewish links. Police are currently searching for 15 of the identified suspects. The incident has drawn condemnation from Jewish organizations and international observers. Croatian officials have vowed to prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law, emphasizing the country’s zero-tolerance policy towards hate speech and discrimination. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to identify and apprehend all individuals involved in the hateful display near Split.
