Criminals indicted three Ptuj company officials for unpaid contributions

The police sector of the Maribor Police Department, upon a report from the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, concluded an investigation into alleged violations of employees' fundamental rights at a company based in Ptuj. The District Public Prosecutor's Office initiated a preliminary procedure, leading to criminal charges against three responsible individuals of the company under Article 196 of the Criminal Code for suspected violations of employees' basic rights. According to the findings, between December 2022 and March 2025, the company did not comply with regulations regarding the payment of social security contributions for employees, despite regularly submitting payroll calculations and REK-O forms to tax authorities. The investigation revealed that the company had sufficient funds to meet other obligations but failed to pay employee contributions, resulting in damages estimated at at least €294,783. Under the Criminal Code, the offense of violating employees' fundamental rights carries a penalty of imprisonment.
