Warned the press that the SCOP Act does not achieve the objective of effectively prosecuting corruption

The article discusses ongoing debates in Slovenia regarding a proposed law establishing specialized units for handling corruption and organized crime cases. Members of the opposition criticize the proposal, viewing it as a tool for political cadre management and control over criminal investigations. In contrast, coalition members argue the law is necessary and represents a first step toward more effective anti-corruption efforts. Minister Mihael Zupančič emphasized that the law should have been passed earlier, citing international institutions' warnings about Slovenia's corruption issues and the economic costs of inefficiency. He defended the law against accusations of being a facade for political influence, stating that it was developed with input from top court and prosecutors. Legal representatives from the judiciary, prosecution, and bar association expressed concerns about the law's potential to worsen judicial delays and called for careful consideration before adoption.
