Former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader released on parole

Former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was released on parole today. The decision to grant Sanader permission to leave prison before serving his entire sentence was made today by the Council of the Sisak County Court.

As a reminder, Ivo Sanader was sentenced to a single sentence of 18 years in prison, and was finally convicted in three cases: for embezzling money from public companies in the Fimi Media case, for soliciting and accepting bribes in the Planinska case, and for transferring management rights over the INA oil company to the Hungarian MOL oil company in exchange for bribes.
