In the first half of the year 2025, the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption fined two officials and issued warnings to four others for breaching restrictions on business activity. Half of these measures were taken following questions from Oštro’s journalists as part of the Asset Detector project. Warnings were issued to Alenka Jeraj, Andrej Kosi, and Martin Premk.

Last September*, the Asset Detector project, which maps the publicly disclosed assets of government officials and their immediate family members, published data on 88 members of parliament. Among other, we found 47 connected companies, institutions, and sole entrepreneurs that hadn’t been reported to the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption (KPK) by the officials. Some have corrected the errors after receiving our inquiries.

We also communicated our findings to the KPK at the time.

The KPK informed Oštro that final administrative penalty decisions – two fines and four warnings – were issued against six officials in the first half of this year for violating rules on business activity restrictions. Of these, three warnings were issued based on questions raised by Oštro. They were received by SDS MPs Alenka Jeraj and Andrej Kosi, and Freedom Movement MP Martin Premk.

In addition, Miroslav Gregorič, a member of the Freedom Movement, was fined €400 because he failed to promptly notify the National Assembly of ceasing to serve as an authorized signatory at his daughter’s company as of January 6 of this year. According to the KPK they detected the change on their own.

They also clarified that MP Jeraj received a warning for failing to provide the National Assembly with information about her brother’s company within the legally prescribed deadline. We reported on this irregularity, and the operations of the company owned by the MP’s brother, in September last year.

Mr. Kosi was issued a warning because he failed to provide the National Assembly with timely information about the association he represents. Mr. Premk, meanwhile, did not provide the National Assembly timely information regarding a company associated with his brother, a legal entity he had been representing, and the fact that he no longer holds that position.

Last September*, when publishing data on the assets of MPs, Oštro pointed out that, in accordance with the Integrity and Prevention of Corruption Act, MP Dejan Kaloh should have reported his brother’s company, VBO Marketing, to the Commission for the Prevention of Corruption to be placed on the list of companies with restrictions on business activities with the public sector. According to our information, Mr. Kaloh still hasn’t not done so a year later. You can read more about the company, established for the MP’s brother by Banjaluka-based entrepreneur Dijana Đuđić, in our latest investigative report.

The KPK also stated that based on questions from Oštro, they would promptly be adding an institution connected with a family member of State Secretary Klemen Ploštajner to the list of entities subject to business restrictions. He had submitted a form to be added to the list on January 16 of last year*. As of the time of this writing, it’s still being processed.

“We checked the record of received forms and reentered the aforementioned form into the document management system, from which we then automatically extract the data and display it accordingly in Erar,” they explained.

Since June 2025, the Asset Detector has been providing updated information on the assets of the Prime Minister, 18 ministers, 35 state secretaries, and 16 members of parliament.

By the end of the year 2025, Oštro will be updating the asset data for the remaining MPs and publish the missing data on other officials – including the President of the Republic, Members of the European Parliament, and the mayors you voted for in the survey.

In updating the data, our team will also rely on tips from readers, which will be independently verified and published if they can be confirmed by credible sources. You can send us information or tips via email to contact@ostro.si or by mail to Oštro, Kotnikova ulica 28, 1000 Ljubljana.
