Ivo Protulipac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivo Protulipac was a Croatian lawyer and Catholic activist who was assassinated by Yugoslav secret police in 1946.

He served in the defence of Marko Hranilović in a show trial of the Royal Yugoslav government in 1930.[1]

He was president of the Association of Croatian Eagles.[2] When the association was banned by King Alexander's dictatorship, he reformed it under the name Cross.[3] He was subsequently imprisonned for this act and bishops Akšamović and Bonefačić were brought in by the authorities for questioning.[3]

He was killed by UDBA agents in Trieste in 1946. After Croatian independence, Protulipac's remains were exhumed and he was returned to Croatia and buried in Zagreb's Mirogoj cemetery.[4]
