Nacionalni preiskovalni urad (NPU) je v zadevi domnevne vpletenosti Roka Snežiča v afero Dars na Specializirano državno tožilstvo RS poslal poročilo po 148/10 členu Zakona o kazenskem postopku (ZKP). To pomeni, da policija v tej zadevi zoper Snežiča ni zbrala zadostnih dokazov za ovadbo zaradi domnevnega prejemanja podkupnine. Poročilo je bilo poslano v skladu z zakonom, kar pomeni, da policija ni vložila kazenske ovadbe, ker nima podlage za to. NPU je v poročilu poudaril, da ni bilo zbranih dokazov, ki bi pokazali, da je Rok Snežič za stranko SDS prejel 90.000 evrov.
Afera Dars je izbruhnila jeseni 2023, ko je komercialna televizija POP TV objavila pričevanje neimenovanega žvižgača, ki je trdil, da je podkupil Roka Snežiča in si tako zagotovil posel z Darsom. Televizija je tudi objavila posnetek, na katerem Snežič prejema 5.000 evrov, skupno naj bi od žvižgača prejel za 90.000 evrov podkupnin. Denar naj bi Snežič zbiral tudi za stranko SDS. Takratni predsednik uprave Darsa Valentin Hajdinjak in Snežič sta vse očitke zavrnila, prav tako so nepravilnosti zanikali v SDS. Hajdinjak je novembra istega leta odstopil s čela Darsa, pri čemer je zagotovil, da je družbo vodil odgovorno in zakonito.
NPU je aprila 2024, pol leta po medijskem razkritju nepravilnosti, zaradi zlorabe položaja in nedovoljenega dajanja ter sprejemanja daril izvedel hišne preiskave na Darsu, oglasili so se tudi pri Hajdinjaku in Snežiču. Kaznivih dejanj je bilo osumljenih šest oseb, med drugim Snežič, pa tudi nekdanji direktor za področje vzdrževanja na Darsu Damijan Jaklin, zdaj državni sekretar na ministrstvu za infrastrukturo in energetiko. Zoper Jaklina naj bi bila februarja letos vložena tudi kazenska ovadba. Na policiji so potrdili, da so na specializirano državno tožilstvo v tej zadevi poslali poročilo skladno z zakonom o kazenskem postopku, o konkretnih ali določljivih fizičnih osebah pa zaradi varovanja osebnih podatkov ne odgovarjajo. Policija sicer skladno z zakonom poročilo pošlje, če na podlagi zbranih obvestil ni podlage za kazensko ovadbo.
Rok Snežič je v svojem sporočilu za STA dejal, da je novi direktor NPU poslal na tožilstvo poročilo, ki je eno leto čakalo v predalu, da v primeru Dars policija ni zbrala nobenih dokazov, da je Rok Snežič za stranko SDS prejel 90.000 evrov. Specializirano državno tožilstvo se bo na podlagi poročila policije zdaj odločilo, ali bo zadevo zaključilo ali zahtevalo dodatna pojasnila oziroma nadaljnje postopke. Snežič je tudi izrazil prepričanje, da je bila afera politično orkestrirana, s ciljem odstranitve Valentina Hajdinjaka, diskreditacije SDS in NSi ter preusmeritve pozornosti od drugih težav takratne oblasti.
Snežič je napovedoval tudi pravne korake proti Alenci Bratuškovi in Andreju Ribiču, ki jih je po lastnih navedbah že sprožil. Njegova ocena je, da je bila afera medijem izkoristena za politične cilje, kar je povzročilo mediji linč. Prav tako je izrazil zaskrbljenost glede tega, kdo bo odgovarjal za to, kar je vplivalo na njegovo reputacijo in življenje v zadnjih dveh letih. NPU je v poročilu poudaril, da ni bilo zbranih dokazov, ki bi pokazali, da je Rok Snežič storil kaznivo dejanje prejemanja podkupnine, kar pomeni, da je bilo vloženo samo poročilo, ne pa kazenska ovadba.

N1 SlovenijaIndependentLeftFactual 90Objective 8014 hr. agoThe article discusses the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption involving Rok Snežič, a former member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), in connection with the 'Dars' scandal. The National Prosecutorial Office (NPU) has concluded that there were insufficient grounds for criminal charges against Snežič due to lack of conclusive evidence regarding the receipt of €90,000 in bribes. The scandal emerged in autumn 2023 when a whistleblower claimed to have bribed Snežič to secure a position at Dars, a construction company. Despite initial denials by both Snežič and former Dars CEO Valentin Hajdinjak, the NPU conducted home searches in 2024. Six individuals were suspected of involvement, including Snežič and Damijan Jaklin, now a state secretary. The police confirmed they sent a report to the specialized state prosecutor’s office but did not specify which individuals were involved due to privacy concerns. Snežič stated that the report indicated no evidence of bribery.
Bias read (Left): The article frames the situation in a way that suggests the authorities failed to act decisively against political figures, implying potential systemic issues within the legal process. It emphasizes the lack of evidence against Snežič while highlighting the broader implications for political ethics.
Why these scores (Factual 90 · Objective 80): Highly factual and consistent with other sources regarding NPU’s decision not to file charges against Snežič. Maintains neutrality by presenting information without emotive language. References to media exposure and legal procedures are accurately reported.
DomovinaIndependentCenterFactual 88Objective 7816 hr. agoThe article discusses the legal proceedings related to the 'DARS affair' involving Rok Snežič, a former executive at DARS. The National Prosecutorial Office (NPU) has submitted a report to the Specialized State Prosecutor’s Office under Article 148/10 of the Criminal Procedure Code but has not filed a criminal complaint against Snežič regarding alleged bribery for SDS. This indicates that based on collected evidence, there is insufficient basis for a criminal charge. The case is currently in the stage of preparing a state prosecutor's decision, with limited information being disclosed due to privacy concerns. The affair initially emerged in October 2023 when a hidden businessman claimed to have paid Snežič €90,000 for a job at DARS, suggesting funds might have gone to SDS. Both SDS and Snežič denied these allegations. The situation has had political implications, raising public concerns about potential corruption networks within DARS reaching opposition parties. Snežič claims the NPU's decision was expected and that the gathered evidence does not support the allegation of receiving a bribe.
Bias read (Center): The article presents factual developments and legal procedures without overtly favoring any political side. It reports on the actions of the NPU and the Specialized State Prosecutor’s Office, while also including statements from Rok Snežič and the denial by SDS. There is no clear ideological leaning
Why these scores (Factual 88 · Objective 78): Accurate reporting on NPU’s actions and legal framework. Provides clear explanation of the difference between a report and a charge. Maintains balance but slightly leans towards emphasizing the implications of the NPU’s decision without overt bias.
RTV Slovenija (MMC)State / PublicCenterFactual 85Objective 7514 hr. agoThe article reports on the ongoing investigation into alleged corruption involving Rok Snežič, a member of the Slovenian Social Democracy Party (SDS), in connection with the Dars affair. The National Prosecution Office (NPU) has concluded that there were insufficient grounds for prosecution against Snežič, based on police findings that no evidence was collected proving he received €90,000 in bribes for the SDS. The case emerged in autumn 2023 after a whistleblower claimed Snežič was bribed to secure a position at Dars, a company involved in infrastructure projects. Despite initial denials by Snežič and former Dars CEO Valentin Hajdinjak, who later became the Minister of Defense, the NPU launched investigations in April 2024. Six individuals, including Snežič and former Dars employee Damijan Jaklin, were implicated. The police stated they sent a report to the specialized state prosecutor’s office but could not confirm specific individuals due to privacy concerns.
Bias read (Center): The article presents information from both sides—Snežič denies receiving bribes, while the whistleblower claims otherwise. The reporting remains neutral, citing official sources such as the NPU and police, without overtly favoring either side. There is no clear ideological slant in the framing or ph
Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 75): Factual accuracy is high as it aligns with cross-source consensus on NPU not gathering sufficient evidence for charges against Snežič. However, the article includes direct quotes from Snežič which may introduce bias. The mention of 'domnevnega prejemanja podkupnine' is consistent with other reports
VečerIndependent🔒CenterFactual 82Objective 7010 hr. agoThe article reports that Rok Snežič, a tax advisor, has been cleared of criminal charges related to accepting a bribe in connection with the Dars affair. The National Prosecution Office (NPU) did not gather evidence against him in this context. A group of four plaintiffs has requested the initiation of a judicial investigation. The piece raises several questions regarding the allegations against Snežič, his response to the NPU, the origins of the Dars affair, and who else is involved in the case.
Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about the legal status of Rok Snežič in relation to the Dars affair without overtly favoring any particular political stance. It outlines the current situation based on available information and does not exhibit clear ideological leaning in its framing or use
Why these scores (Factual 82 · Objective 70): Contains some factual elements but appears more focused on the legal process and potential consequences rather than providing full context. Includes less detailed background and omits some key points present in other articles, leading to lower objectivity due to focus on procedural aspects over bala
