Former Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, who is currently in jail after being sentenced in 2012 to 10 years for war profiteering and receiving bribes, has been sentenced to a further 9 years in jail in Zagreb on Tuesday…
The former PM and leader of the HDZ political party was on trial in the “Fimi Media” case, in which Sanader stood accused of siphoning 9.3 million EUR from state companies and channeling them into its coffers with four other HDZ members.
According to court experts’ findings, private marketing company Fimi Media secured over 25 million EUR through contentious deals with over 600,000 EUR ending up in the HDZ slush fund and in private pockets.
