SloveniaA former president of the Slovenian Water Polo Association, Milan Kranjc, has been sentenced to one year of conditional imprisonment for financial fraud. The Kranjsko okrožno sodišče (District Court in Kranj) convicted him for submitting false invoices to the Sports Foundation, causing approximately €60,000 in damages between 2010 and 2013. The state prosecutor, Tilen Demšar, alleged that Kranjc failed to verify the authenticity of these invoices, which were provided by his secretary and assistant. Although Kranjc initially refused to comment, he later admitted guilt. The prosecution recommended a four-year probation period. Demšar emphasized that while the fraud caused significant financial harm, Kranjc did not personally benefit and aimed to support the association financially. This conviction follows previous legal issues involving Kranjc, including allegations of mismanagement in the European Cultural Capital project in Nova Gorica.
