Alen Šćuric was born and raised in Croatia (exact years of birth and personal data are not publicly and consistently confirmed in sources available to the media). In the public resumes available online, a number of professional interests are listed – from working with majorettes to commenting on aviation topics in the media. His name became recognizable to the public, especially through his work with a group of Zagreb majorettes, which he led for years and whose prominent representative in domestic and international events.
His presence was not limited to the majorette world: in various media appearances he also signed himself as an analyst for aviation topics, where he commented on regional air traffic and airport management. In several articles and interviews, Šćuric appeared as an interlocutor on topics related to airports, flight safety and airline business.
Alen Šćurić’s role in the world of majorettes and organizations
For a long time, Šćuric was very influential within the Association of Zagreb Majorettes and held wider positions in alliances dealing with majorettes at the national and even international level. Under his leadership, the groups participated in numerous public performances and national events and were present at ceremonies and sports celebrations. His role was often both organizational and promotional; Because of this, he had multiple contacts in the sports and cultural environment.
His position also enabled him to participate in structures that bring together representatives of the majorette community from the region and Europe, which further raised his profile in certain circles. On the one hand, this influence meant possibilities and responsibilities, and on the other hand – in the context of later accusations – it led to strong interest from the public and the media for his every move.
Public roles outside the majorette community: aviation and analyses
In addition to the majorette environment, Šćuric also appeared in the media as a commentator on the aviation industry and transport. In some attachments, he presented analyzes and positions on airport management and business decisions in the airport sector. Such public appearances further expanded the reach of his name, and portrayed him as a person who monitors, analyzes and comments on broader economic and infrastructure topics related to aviation in the region.
It is important to note that in public appearances, the views that sometimes face criticism or corrections from other experts; In the sphere of aviation and economy, analyzes are often carefully checked and contextualized. Such a pluralism of opinion in public space is normal for topics of a complex nature such as concessions, investments and air traffic safety.

Reversal: events that changed public perception
In the first half of 2025, the media intensively reported on a series of accusations made by current and former members of some of the majorette groups associated with the organizations he associated with the name Šćurica. According to media reports, people who made allegations of unacceptable behavior and abuse contacted the police and competent authorities. This led to police actions and reports against Šćuric and to great public interest. Arrests, police proceedings and further monitoring of the case by the media and the public followed.
Key points of that period:
- Police have recorded reports from several persons who claimed to have been victims.
- The media reported criminal charges brought against him, and were charges of a variety of nature, including serious charges related to abuse and violation of child rights.
- Public reporting has sparked a broad debate about the safety of young participants in organizations and on the supervision and accountability of organizers and associations.
The reports highlighted that the charges led to the fact that Šćuric lost some of the leading positions in national majorette bodies; At the same time, court proceedings and investigations accelerated, and public debate on the topic also escalated.
Legal situation and status
According to multiple media reports, reports were filed against Alen Šćuric and he was detained as part of the criminal investigation. Some media reported a series of crimes he was suspected of, highlighting the number of injured persons who allegedly reported inappropriate behavior. However, in the legal system, the principle of presumption of innocence applies until proven guilty by a final court decision – therefore we use a terminology that reflects legal status in the text: “suspected”, “reported” and “pending investigations”, in accordance with available sources.
Furthermore, media reports indicate that at certain stages of the investigation, the county court decided on measures against him (eg banning approaching certain persons), as well as letting him defend himself from freedom at some moments while the investigation continued. These are legal decisions that have caused a debate in the public about the appropriateness of measures and legal practice in matters of a similar nature.
IMPORTANT: All specific legal outcomes or possible court judgments should be monitored through official court records and credible legal announcements; Media reports provide context, but final and accurate legal information should be confirmed by official sources of the body of action.
Reactions of society and organization
The reactions of civil society, non-governmental organizations and the public were strong: organizations dealing with the rights of women and the protection of victims of gender-based violence called for serious and professional behavior of competent authorities and greater protection of young participants in organizations. Part of the public asked for faster and more severe sanctions, while others emphasized the importance of compliance with legal procedures and the fact that the truth should be established in court proceedings.
The media sought to monitor and broaden the impact of such cases on the reputation of organizations, safety in culture and sports, and on the way of management and supervision in associations that work with children and young people. Discussions covered the topics of prevention of abuse, reporting protocols and transparency in the work of organizations.
What is known about his public behavior before the charges
There are records in public footage and reports before the accusations that further fueled criticism – for example footage showing Šćuric harshly addressing members, or statements in which increased toning was present. Such incidents, according to recent texts and statements of former members, are part of the plurality of complaints about his relationship with his subordinates. This further reinforced the media interest and rethinking internal governance in the organizations he led.
On the other hand, Šćuric and his representatives in some media appearances claimed that certain events were taken out of context or misinterpreted and tried to explain certain situations as professional leadership and maintenance of disciplines within the group. Such contradictions often appear in public debates, and that is precisely why it is important to distinguish media allegations from court facts.

I base this text on verified media releases and public information available at the time of writing. In it, I avoid unverified rumors and do not draw court conclusions; I use expressions that reflect the legal status of information (eg “suspected”, “reported”, “pending investigation”).
