Slovenian PM Denies Corruption Allegations in Police Staffing Probe

Prime Minister Robert Golob faces a criminal complaint over alleged interference in police affairs, following accusations by a former interior minister.

• Slovenian police have filed a criminal complaint against Prime Minister Robert Golob, accusing him of corruption related to police staffing.
• The allegations stem from former Interior Minister Tatjana Bobnar, who claims Golob exerted undue political pressure on police appointments.
• Bobnar resigned in December 2022, citing Golob's refusal to extend the tenure of former interim police chief Boštjan Lindav.
• Golob has rejected the accusations, labeling them as part of a political struggle initiated by Bobnar after her resignation.
• The Specialised Public Prosecutor’s Office is now considering whether to dismiss the complaint, file an indictment, or request further investigation.
