May 10 (SeeNews) - Slovenia's anti-corruption authority has launched a preliminary investigation into alleged criminal offense committed during the appointment of managers at state-owned development bank SID, local media reported on Tuesday.
For now, the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption is not conducting proceedings against any specific person, daily Delo reported.
According to Delo, SID Bank's former appointments and remuneration commission president Saso Polanec sent confidential information to staffing agency Amrop Adria and resigned shortly after the completion of the process for hiring new senior managers at the lender in 2021.
The agency then forwarded the confidential information to some of the candidates, Delo said.
In August 2021, SID's supervisory board appointed Damjan Dolinar as management board president and Stanko Sarc Majdic as board member. The process of selecting a third board member is still ongoing.
The government of prime minister Janez Jansa amended the SID Bank Act in April 2020 to lower the criteria for the appointment of management board members, Delo said.
