Plaintiff admits to fraud: €60,000 in damages, one year of probation

Milan Krajnc, prejšnji predsednik Vaterpolske zveze Slovenije, je bil zaradi goljufije Fundaciji za šport obsodbljen na leto dni pogojne kazni s preizkusno dobo štirih let. Sodišče je potrdilo, da je Krajnc med svojim predsedovanjem (2010–2013) posredoval lažne račune, kar je povzročilo škodo v višini 60.000 evrov. Kljub temu je Krajnc krivdo priznal in obžaloval, kar je omogočilo sodniku Tilenu Demšaru, da je predlog pogojne kazni. Demšar je objasnil, da je Krajnc želel pomagati zvezi in ne samozadovoljno pridobiti koriste, ter dodal, da je Krajnc kot predsednik moral preverjati pristnost računov. Krajnc je pred sodnikom izrazil težave s spominom in poudaril, da je deloval iz tujine, medtem ko so mu račune pošiljali drugi. Predstavitve Krajnca so bile deloma nasprotujoče se in kaotične.

Milan Krajnc, former president of the Slovenian Water Polo Association, has admitted to fraud involving false invoices that caused approximately €60,000 in damages to the Sports Foundation. The case was concluded at the Kranjsko Okrožno Court on September 1, 2026, with Krajnc receiving a one-year conditional sentence with a four-year probation period. The court ruled that he had knowingly submitted fraudulent financial documents during his tenure as president from 2010 to 2013. The prosecution, led by Tilen Demšar, alleged that Krajnc had submitted false invoices to the Sports Foundation, resulting in financial harm. During the trial, Krajnc initially refused to comment on the charges, stating he would consult with his new lawyer before responding. However, after a brief discussion with the prosecutor, he decided to admit guilt and expressed remorse. Demšar argued that while the offense caused significant financial damage, the time elapsed since the act, over 13 years, should be considered. He emphasized that Krajnc did not create the false invoices himself but was instead provided them by the association’s secretary and assistant. According to Demšar, Krajnc, as president, should have verified the authenticity of these documents and ensured the organization's compliance with legal standards. During his testimony, Krajnc described his actions as being driven by a desire to help the water polo association, which he also oversaw financially. He claimed that he often operated from abroad during his presidency and relied on others to handle invoicing. When asked whether he knew the invoices represented higher amounts than the actual services rendered, Krajnc confirmed this. He further stated that he had been vocal about irregularities within sports organizations and the laundering of money through such groups, leading some individuals to seek to silence him. He suggested that the current situation was a consequence of past criticisms. In addition to the fraud charge, Krajnc faced 17 other offenses related to the falsification of over 200 documents. These charges were deemed outdated, meaning they no longer carried active penalties. Despite this, the court still imposed a conditional sentence, citing the need to ensure accountability for past misconduct. Krajnc, who previously held positions including candidate for President of the Olympic Committee of Slovenia, has a public profile as a double doctor, academic, university professor specializing in management, psychotherapist, and author of more than 300 books on leadership and relationships. He currently resides in Montecarlo and works at universities in Belgrade and Jakarta. His professional activities continue despite the legal consequences of his actions. The court accepted the prosecution’s recommendation and issued a final ruling. Both the prosecutor and Krajnc waived their right to appeal, making the decision legally binding. The judgment includes a requirement for Krajnc to pay the costs associated with the legal proceedings. The case highlights ongoing issues of financial transparency in sports organizations and the personal responsibilities of leaders in ensuring ethical practices.

Plaintiff admits to fraud: €60,000 in damages, one year of probation

Milan Krajnc je na kranjskem sodišču priznal, da je sodeloval pri lažnih računih, zaradi katerih je bila Fundacija za šport oškodovana za približno 60.000 evrov. Postopek je trajal več kot desetletje, medtem ko je Krajnc pred sodnikom pojasnjeval okoliščine svojega priznanja in svojo vlogo pri spornih računih. Sodič mu je določil leto dni pogojne kazni s preizkusno dobo štirih let. Sodba je že pravnomočna, kar pomeni, da bo Krajnc morał biti pod nadzorom policije. V članku se še razvijejo podrobnosti o tem, kako je tožilec utemeljil predlog kaze, kakšne olajševalne okoliščine je izpostavil, ter kaj je Krajnc povedal o spornih računih in zakaj so bila njegova pojasnila deloma nasprotujoča.
