CROATIA’S FORMER PRIME MINISTER SENTENCED TO 8 YEARS IN JAIL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT

On 13 November, OCCRP reported that a Croatian court has sentenced the country’s former Prime Minister, Ivo Sanader, to 8 years in prison for syphoning state-owned assets through a private marketing company, keeping some of it for himself and putting the rest into his party’s secret slush fund while he was in office.  Besides Sanader, the court also sentenced his associates, the HDZ’ party’s former treasurer, Mladen Barišić, to 2 years and 10 months in jail, and the party’s former financial clerk, Branka Pavošević, to 16 months jail.
