Abstract

The article discusses the circumstances surrounding the assassination of the famous Croatian scientist Milan Šufflay who was severely beaten in front of his own home in Zagreb on 18 February 1931, and died the following day at the hospital. The murder was commissioned by the head of the local police, Janko Bedeković, who was an ardent supporter of the authoritarian rule of the Karađorđević dynasty in interwar Yugoslavia which comprised Croatia. In addition to his scientific work, Šufflay was also actively involved in the Croatian independence movement, which is why the circumstances of his death are associated with the Karađorđević regime

Keywords:
