Way around, rumours about investigation started two days before "media hype".
Provided video is real and not forgery used by dark forces to defame the glorious captain whose shining examples of aeronautical & managerial excellence throughout his career should be followed by any Croatian airline pilot, commander can be easily found in breach of security procedure (yes, CTN does require FA to be in cockpit when one of the pilots takes physiological break). With F/O might be a bit different; it seems there are no explicit rules about using video equipment on CTN's flightdecks and besides, he is not just OU employee but also a paying client.

Correct, yet some airlines chose to implement "never leave the pilot alone on the flightdeck" policy.

It's about caring (or rather pretending to care) about passengers. Since there are none on the cargo flights - N/A.
Probably the unlucky capt is cursing hard the management guy whose brilliant cost-saving idea was to bring P2F into CTN.
