The questioning of former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader by anti-corruption office (USKOK) investigators in the HEP-TLM case has been postponed until next Friday as Sanader's lawyer Cedo Prodanovic, who is arguing the case, was unable to attend today.
After leaving the USKOK building in downtown Zagreb accompanied by his other lawyer, Goran Suic, Sanader declined to address the press.
Suic told reporters the questioning was postponed for next week, when the former PM and former Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) president would return to USKOK with Prodanovic.
Last week, Prodanovic announced at the trial for the cases Hypo and INA-MOL that he would undergo knee surgery. Presiding Judge Ivan Turudic also said last week he, too, was to undergo knee surgery and adjourned the trial for late February.
As of recently, Sanader is also suspected in the case of the sale of power below the market to the Sibenik-based TLM company and the Mostar-based Aluminij, whereby the Croatian power company HEP was defrauded of some HRK 600 million.
According to unofficial sources, Sanader is suspected of inciting former HEP Managing Board president Ivan Mravak to abuse office, namely to sign deals under detrimental conditions for HEP.
