A former high-ranking member of the Croatian Ski Association, Damir Raos, has confessed to participating in financial misconduct linked to ex-director Vedran Pavlek. Raos revealed that he helped distribute funds through fictitious invoices, which were then transferred to offshore accounts and companies connected to Pavlek. The scheme involved three signatures—Pavlek’s, Raos’s, and that of an external accountant—to authorize payments. Raos admitted to involving additional individuals not previously included in the investigation, suggesting further arrests could occur. Meanwhile, Pavlek, currently in Kazakhstan, has appealed against his extradition to Croatia, citing fears for his safety due to the information he possesses.
