CCP: Mol has issued a control order to the company of a family member of a sub-districtThe City of Ljubljana has been found to have violated anti-corruption laws by awarding a contract for monitoring services to a company owned by a family member of city councilor Rok Žnidaršič, who later became deputy mayor. The Commission for Preventing Corruption (KPK) launched an investigation after receiving a report in December 2024 and discovered that the city signed a €2,350 contract with Reed Group in January 2023. At the time, Žnidaršič was serving as a city councilor and held a 90% ownership stake in Reed Group, which created a conflict of interest under the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Act. According to the KPK, such transactions are strictly prohibited, and any contracts made under these circumstances are considered null and void. The commission emphasized that the prohibition applies immediately upon assuming office, not just when the individual becomes aware of the restrictions. The city was required to cancel the contract and restart the procurement process but failed to do so.

CCP: Municipality of Ljubljana has breached the business restrictionThe Corruption Prevention Commission (KPK) has determined that the City of Ljubljana violated restrictions on business dealings by awarding a contract to a company whose director and shareholder is a family member of Rok Žnidaršič, a city council member and later deputy mayor. The commission found that the city issued a service order worth €2,350 to REED GROUP for monitoring work on the reconstruction of a bridge over the Gobovšek stream, despite legal prohibitions against such transactions involving close relatives of officials. According to the law, any business conducted under these circumstances is considered null and void, requiring all parties involved to return any benefits received. The KPK emphasized that restrictions apply from the moment an official begins their role, not after they become aware of the limitations. While the commission confirmed the violation in this case, it did not find a breach related to another contract extension for the renovation of the Petkovško Nabrežje, as that was signed before Žnidaršič assumed his position.

The CCP confirmed the infringement in the municipality of Janković: the deal was awarded to the company of the sub-governor's relativeThe Corruption Prevention Commission (KPK) has confirmed that the City of Ljubljana (MOL) violated legal restrictions on business dealings by awarding a contract to a company owned by a relative of a local official. In January 2023, MOL commissioned the firm REED GROUP to oversee the renovation of a bridge over the Gobovšek stream, despite the company’s director being a family member of then-mayor Rok Žnidaršič. The contract was worth €2,350, but the KPK emphasized that the amount is irrelevant, what matters is that the law prohibits municipalities from entering contracts with companies linked to their officials or their relatives. MOL did not challenge the findings in court, making them legally binding. The city explained that the selection process began before Žnidaršič took office and that the contract was delayed due to administrative changes. However, the KPK rejected this explanation, stating that restrictions applied from the moment Žnidaršič assumed his role, which was December 2022.

CCP reveals irregularities in the Ljubljana Municipality: Family connection in the backgroundThe Corruption Prevention Commission (KPK) has revealed irregularities involving the City Municipality of Ljubljana, specifically regarding a contract worth €2,350 for monitoring services related to the renovation of a bridge over the Gobovšek stream. The commission found that the municipality violated provisions of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Act (ZIntPK), as the director and 90% owner of the company involved, REED GROUP, was a family member of Rok Žnidaršič, who at the time was serving as a city council member. According to the law, there should have been restrictions on business dealings between the municipality and the company due to this familial connection. The commission emphasized that these restrictions apply from the date a functionary begins their role, not after they become aware of the restrictions. The municipality failed to cancel the already signed contract upon becoming aware of the restrictions and did not restart the procurement process. Additionally, the commission examined another annex to a contract for monitoring work on the Petkovškovo embankment but did not confirm any violations since it did not involve a new contract.

CCP hits MOL: disputed contract to a company related to the family of a subordinateThe Corruption Prevention Commission (KPK) has ruled that the City of Ljubljana (MOL) violated legal restrictions on business dealings by entering into a contract worth €2,350 with Reed Group, a company owned and managed by a family member of Mayor Rok Žnidaršič. The decision follows an investigation initiated after a report in December 2024, during which KPK obtained documentation and clarified the situation with MOL. It was determined that the agreement breached provisions of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Act, as the company involved had ties to Žnidaršič’s family. According to the law, absolute restrictions apply to business dealings between an organization and entities connected to individuals holding certain positions, regardless of the transaction value. The commission emphasized that these restrictions take effect upon assuming office, not after being informed of them. In this case, MOL did not cancel the already signed contract after becoming aware of the restrictions in January 2023, when Žnidaršič took on additional roles.
