Former Croatian Prime Minister and head of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Jadranka Kosor may be implicated in a slush fund case that has shaken up her party.
Former head of Croatia insurance Damir Mihanovic said in a recent TV show that the former PM knew that the money kept for some months in the party’s safe came from a slush fund or embezzlements from public firms and institutions.
The detail could prove a key element for Kosor's indictment, daily 24 Sata writes.
In her statement to the anti-corruption bureau USKOK, Kosor said that the party's secretary Branko Bacic dealt with the operational management that may have included the controversial funds.
If it is proven that Kosor knew the money in the safe came from the slush fund, she could be facing charges, daily 24 Sata writes.
USKOK is investigating former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and the party itself in the case where it is believed money was embezzled from public firms and institutions through fictitious jobs with PR company Fimi Media.
USKOK has allegedly opened another investigation - Fimi Media II - where they are looking into the financing of Jadranka Kosor's presidential campaign.
