Ex-Rangers star Borna Barisic ‘charged with money laundering’ after raid on his home

Former Rangers defender Borna Barisic has reportedly been charged with money laundering after police raided his home in Croatia. The 33-year-old is under investigation by the Croatian Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK). Authorities are examining suspected money laundering linked to an organized crime group, centering on two transactions totaling €60,000 involving retired police officer Pero Dugandzic.

Investigators allege that cash was funneled through Barisic and recorded as loans to a company named SG Transport. The wider probe also targets Barisic's father, Stipe Barisic, regarding an allegedly fraudulent 2025 municipal land swap deal. Borna Barisic, who earned 35 caps for Croatia, previously made over 200 appearances for Rangers between 2018 and 2023.
