Damir Škaro


Damir Škaro is a former Croatian amateur boxer who won the Light Heavyweight Bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul for Yugoslavia, as well as a Croatian politician. He also competed at the 1980 Olympic Games and the 1984 Olympic Games.
Škaro was elected into the Croatian Parliament in 1995 as a member of the Croatian Democratic Union.
Škaro has served as the secretary of the Croatian Olympians Club.
On 4 September 2019, he was arrested by Croatian authorities on suspicion of sexual misconduct and alleged rape of his female secretary at Autoklub Siget, where he served as President since 2004. In order to prevent him from witness tampering, he was immediately admitted to prison for a 30-day pre-trial custody period, while the criminal case against him is being built by state attorneys. The case was widely publicized in Croatian news media, and led to his resignation as President of Autoklub Siget only a week later. His pre-trial custody has since been extended for another 30 days.
