The trial at the Maribor Court continues regarding the alleged attempt by former supervisor Damijan Škrinjar to bribe a doctor at the UKC Maribor emergency center after a traffic accident in December 2023. During the hearing, Dr. Simon Ranfl, an emergency medicine physician, stated that Škrinjar was not treated upon his arrival but later requested assistance after refusing blood tests while visibly intoxicated and aggressive. Škrinjar refused blood tests despite police arriving with a court order, as he physically resisted and threatened. Dr. Ranfl suggested Škrinjar avoided blood tests because he knew alcohol levels would decrease over time. Police officer Dejan Lukačak confirmed that Škrinjar did not want to give blood due to fear of losing his driver’s license and potential legal consequences from causing the accident. The court will continue the trial next year, including questioning whether police recorded the incident at the hospital.

A former emergency room supervisor in Maribor, Škrinjar, allegedly threatened doctors and offered bribes during his hospital visit after a traffic accident. Dr. Simon Ranfl, an emergency medicine physician, stated that Škrinjar was initially uncooperative and refused blood tests due to alcohol consumption but eventually agreed to an alcohol test. However, he did not agree to a forced blood draw, citing lack of appropriate facilities. The police arrived with a court order for a forced blood draw, but Škrinjar physically resisted and threatened them. Dr. Ranfl claimed he did not see any money exchanged nor hear any bribery attempts. Police officer Dejan Lukačak confirmed that Škrinjar did not want to give blood out of fear of losing his driver’s license due to causing the accident. The trial will continue next year with new witnesses and potential video evidence from the police patrol at the hospital. Prosecution has requested the court to review a medical expert report regarding injuries sustained in the accident.
