(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 17 - Slovenian Prime Minister Robert
Golob has strongly condemned the suspected abuse of office by
former director of the Office for Money Laundering Prevention,
Damjan Zugelj, regarding a major investigation of bank accounts,
the Slovenian news agency STA reported.
Golob emphasized that there should be no tolerance for such
deplorable abuses in a democratic state governed by the rule of
law. If the allegations prove true, this incident would be one
of the largest cases of official institution misuse for partisan
political motives in the country's history, aimed at influencing
election outcomes, Golob noted.
The police and state prosecution are currently investigating
whether Zugelj violated the law and misused his office in
launching an extensive review of bank accounts in Slovenia, STA
informed. Media reports suggested that the investigation was
allegedly orchestrated as part of an agreement between former
Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa and Serbian President
Aleksandar Vucic before the last general election, targeting
political opponents and influential figures such as Dragan
Solak, the Serbian co-owner of United Group and Telemach
telecommunications company. (ANSA).
