Nord Stream suspect arrested in Croatia while tied to film Snake Island

Croatian police detained Ukrainian diver Volodymyr Zhuravlev on a European arrest warrant linked to the 2022 Nord Stream sabotage; German prosecutors say he’s part of a group with Ukrainian state links. In a twist, Zhuravlev reportedly worked as a consultant on Doug Liman’s film Snake Island, shot in Zagreb and Pula with Sean Penn and Adrien Brody, underscoring cross-border legal and political tensions, including Poland’s earlier decision not to enforce a German arrest warrant and questions about EU jurisdiction.

Mljet shipwreck uncovers Mediterranean’s largest gold hoard

Archaeologists excavating off Croatia’s Mljet Island have recovered a late 7th/early 8th‑century shipwreck hoard—the largest gold treasure ever found from a Mediterranean shipwreck—featuring more than 600 grams of gold coins issued by four Heraclian emperors, plus elaborate jewelry with rubies, emeralds and pearls and a golden signet ring, indicating a high‑status passenger. The wreck, studied since 2015 and formally presented July 23 by the Croatian Conservation Institute, provides new insights into Mediterranean sea routes during the Roman‑to‑medieval transition.
