Who was Ivo Protulipac?

Ivo Protulipac was a Croatian lawyer and important 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.

He was the president of the "Union of Croatian Eagles". When the association was banned by King Alexander's dictatorship, he reformed it together with Ivan Merz under the name "Crusaders". He was subsequently imprisoned for this act and bishops Akšamović and Bonefačić were brought in by the authorities for questioning.

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.
