A senior member of the catholic charity Caritas was indicted Monday by a Zagreb court for covering up sexual abuse of children in orphanages.

Croatian news agency HINA said Monday that Zagreb County prosecutor charged Jelena Brajsa, head of the charity's Zagreb branch, with "obstruction of collecting evidence", relating to sexual and physical abuse of children in Zagreb's Brezovica orphanage. If found guilty, she faces one year in jail.
