Serious allegations against Robert Gobola, is he facing a prison sentence?

The alleged crime involves unauthorized giving of gifts for illegal intermediation under Article 264 of the Criminal Code. Stevanović stated that Golob was notified of this, along with his parliamentary group and the mandate-election commission, which must decide whether Golob retains parliamentary immunity.

The article reports on a legal development involving Zoran Stevanović, the president of the Slovenian Parliament, who was informed by a specialized state prosecutor that conditions for initiating a criminal proceeding against Robert Golob, leader of the Freedom Party, have been met. The accusation centers around Golob allegedly committing a crime by providing unauthorized donations for illegal intermediation as head of government. Shortly after, members of the Resnica party posted Stevanović’s statement on social media, criticizing him for spreading lies and calling him a 'thorn in the flesh.' Later, MP Katja Kokot of the same party responded, expressing hope that parliamentary debates would become calmer and suggesting that the 'lying' party not affiliated with Freedom should dissolve, as it cannot achieve good results under such leadership. She also comments on the 'work' of other MPs not aligned with Freedom being 'soon on the agenda,' using a metaphor implying they will face consequences.

Odvetnik prvaka Svobode Roberta Goloba Stojan Zdolšek je potrdil, da se obvestilo specializiranega državnega tožilstva o možnosti kazenskega pregona zoper Goloba nanaša na zadevo Bobnar. Tožilstvo je obvesčilo predsednika DZ Zorana Stevanovića, da so izpolnjeni pogoji za začetek kazenskega postopka zaradi domnevnega nedovoljenega dajanja daril za nezakonito posredovanje. Zdolšek je dejal, da Golob ne sklicuje na imuniteto, kljub temu pa postopek v Državni zbor (DZ) predpisuje poslovnik DZ. Sodišče mora odločiti o uvedbi sodne preiskave, kar lahko povzroči začetek kazenskega postopka.
