CroatiaA police officer in Ljubljana, Slovenia, accidentally released an innocent detainee due to failing to verify his date of birth, relying solely on a name match. The incident occurred in September 2025 at a police detention center. As a result, the disciplinary commission imposed a fine of 6,000 euros and ordered the payment of 500 euros in court costs. During the disciplinary proceedings, it was revealed that the officer had committed additional breaches of duty, including checking license plates in the police information system without proper justification. The officer admitted during the hearing that he checked license plates for his girlfriend after a traffic accident to obtain insurance-related data. The disciplinary commission concluded that multiple violations were committed, some considered serious, leading to the financial penalties. The decision was made following the incident but was only publicly announced recently.
