Pavlek got married in Kazakhstan? The minister responded: 'I don't think it would help him'

Vedran Pavlek, who is accused of embezzling nearly 30 million euros from the Croatian Ski Association (HSS), remains in Kazakhstan. The newspaper 7dnevno reported that he has married there and is creating a new Kazakh national ski team, offering Croatian skiers careers and money. However, Croatian alpine skier Natko Zrnčić Dim denied being contacted by Pavlek for the team. Minister of Justice Damir Habijan stated he was unaware of Pavlek’s marriage and doubted it would aid his extradition process. He confirmed active efforts are underway for Pavlek’s extradition to Croatia. Earlier, the Croatian Chief State Prosecutor Ivan Turudić noted Pavlek is using all legal means to resist extradition. In mid-September, Pavlek lost his lawyer Laure Valković, who withdrew her power of attorney without explaining the reasons.
