Corruption case in the European Parliament makes to the court

Ex member of the European Parliament Zoran Thaler faces criminal charges filled by the specialized Public Prosecution in Ljubljana, Slovenia yesterday.Zoran Thaler is accused of corruption while he was serving his mandate in the European Parliament. He is accused of receiving bribe in order to support proposal of amendments in the European Parliament.

The scandal had huge publicity in Brussels and in Slovenia too.
This corruption scandal was discovered by the journalists from the British newspaper "Sunday Time" who offered him the money in an undercover operation.
Although his lawyers and Zoran Thaler himself rejects the accusations made by the Prosecution so far the media and the public are not on his side. The Slovenian anti-corruption commission also stated that there are many elements in this case that suggest that there is a solid ground for the accusations against Zoran Thaler. Of course the court will have the last word.
