schema:articleBody	Thousands defied coronavirus restrictions on Wednesday to flock to the funeral of Zagreb's longtime mayor Milan Bandic, a popular but controversial politician who had been under investigation for graft. The influential mayor, who ran the capital almost continuously for more than two decades, died of a heart attack on Sunday at age 65. "He lived for his city and Zagreb citizens ... for the job that he did for 21 years with love and energy, giving his whole self," his office said earlier in a statement. Bandic had been trailed by scandal for years, including several corruption charges and investigations. While some charges were dropped, the mayor was still facing trial, along with 16 others including his closest aides, for alleged graft that cost the city and state budgets around three million euros ($3.6 million). Despite a ban on gatherings of more than 25 people at funerals, several thousand mourners bid the late mayor farewell at the Mirogoj cemetery, according to estimates by an AFP photographer. Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and other mayors from the Balkans region also attended the ceremony. Authorities argued the funeral was organised in a "responsible" manner with some 300 "Covid wardens" sent to monitor safety measures. Mourners wore masks but required distancing between people was not respected. Bandic's reign over Zagreb was interrupted only briefly in 2002 when he was forced to resign over a drink-driving incident in which he fled from police. The Bosnia-born politician was a former top official of the main opposition Social Democrats. He was booted out of the party after deciding to run for president as an independent in 2009, a contest he lost. Zagreb will elect a new mayor in local polls in May. ljv/ssm/pma
