Croatian Bureau for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (Uskok) dismissed the complaints against Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, former Economy Minister Martina Dalic, former Agrokor crisis manager Ante Ramljak, and Finance Minister Zdravko Maric in the Hotmail affair, the state attorney’s office said on Monday.

The complaints were filed by political parties Zivi Zid and Slobodna Hrvatska in May on suspicion of trading in influence and abuse of inside information. The prosecution said “there were no elements of those criminal acts.”

Uskok reported on its website that “the filed complaints, based on the texts and e-mails published on the Index.hr portal”, said that the persons “were using their official authority, purposely deceived the Croatian public on the situation in the Agrokor Group, and illegally revealed inside information, enabling legal and physical persons to gain financial benefits.”

Uskok said it has determined, through analysis of all relevant documentation, that there was no connection between selecting people to be part of the working group which drafted the law on state-appointed crisis management, and later hiring some of them as crisis manager and his advisors in the procedure in Agrokor.

There was no influence on the selection of the main advisor for restructuring, and his subcontractors, Uskok said.

Economy Minister Martina Dalic handed in her resignation mid-May after the publication of e-mail correspondence between her and the consultants and lawyers who had worked on drafting the controversial Lex Agrokor bill in early 2017.
