ZAGREB, May 18, 2018 – The Conflict of Interest Commission on Friday launched proceedings against former deputy prime minister and economy minister Martina Dalić in a case it opened last week following a complaint and leaks of her email correspondence on the ailing Agrokor conglomerate, dubbed the Hotmail scandal.
The Commission concluded that it was contentious that an informal group led by Dalić had drawn up a law, dubbed Lex Agrokor, bypassing procedure.
Dalić did not act credibly nor transparently when she claimed that she had written the law, that everything had been done according to her directions and that she had nothing to do with attorney Boris Šavorić, a member of the informal group, the Commission concluded, adding that Dalić had also disregarded citizens’ trust and the right to be informed of the real state of affairs.
The Commission will establish if there was an interest connection between her and the informal group.
