Boban, who had a 90% share of the company, founded Moja zemlja in 1992, with Maldini joining two years ago as co-owner with a 10% stake. According to court records, the former AC Milan striker Schevchenko became a shareholder on 9 May, reports Tportal. The trio, who played together at AC Milan from 1999 to 2002, have the exclusive rights for AIA products in Croatia.
