ZAGREB, 22 April (2022) - The State Attorney's Office (DORH) said on Friday it was conducting inquiries into Construction, Physical Planning and State Assets Minister Ivan Paladina and examining criminal complaints filed against him.
DORH said Paladina confirmed that complaints had been filed against him and that, after examining some of them, it decided to dismiss them.
DORH said it requested that the remaining complaints be examined.
According to the Index web portal, prosecutors are looking into Paladina's acquisition of bonds in the IGH construction company.
Paladina says nothing new in report on inquiries
Responding to DORH's press release, the minister said it contained "absolutely nothing new."
"It is already known that my former partners filed several criminal complaints against me, nearly all of which have been dismissed, as confirmed by DORH today. As far as I know, the procedure in one or two complaints is not over yet," he told Hina.
"After a criminal complaint has been filed against you, DORH must look into it," he added.
