What a lot of people don't know is that they've bought and paid for one system, and they've installed something else.

Some Slovenians who purchased ventilation systems under the Lunos brand later discovered that they were installed with components from the i-Vent brand instead. The Environmental Fund (Eko sklad) identified discrepancies between purchase receipts and the labels on the installed devices in ten cases and informed the police. The Market Inspectorate of Slovenia found that 3,379 units of non-compliant products were installed between January 2022 and October 2023, but the administrative procedure was later halted due to insufficient description of the violation. The Environmental Fund suspects that i-Vent and its director, Milan Kuster, committed fraud under Article 211 of the Criminal Code and/or forgery under Article 251 of the Criminal Code. Those who received subsidies through the Environmental Fund for ventilation systems but had non-compliant systems installed may need to return the subsidy.
