Mayor of Kočevo: Courts are not dealing effectively with returnees

The mayor of Kočevje, Gregor Košir, has criticized the inefficiency of judicial systems in handling repeat offenders, citing a recent incident where a driver attacked a police officer. The attacker, a 25-year-old previously convicted multiple times, was arrested by police after causing serious injuries to the officer. Interior Minister Franci Matoz confirmed the individual’s history of repeated offenses. Košir argues that courts are not effectively addressing repeat offenders, who remain at large and continue committing violations. He emphasizes systemic issues in both criminal and social legislation, suggesting current laws prioritize maintaining the status quo over meaningful reform. Košir calls for changes to improve the effectiveness of social transfers, criminal procedures, and sanctions against offenders, while urging the government to take action beyond mere promises.
