After being released from four-month custody on Tuesday, former state secretary Josipa Rimac would not comment on the investigation into the wind park corruption case, as part of which she was arrested in late May, saying the investigation was still under way.

Asked by the press if she planned to accuse “some people from the government,” Rimac said she loved “all people. All my dear friends, party colleagues, even those who are not in the party to which I formally belonged until recently, but in my heart forever.”

She would not say if someone tipped her off about a bug she found in her car which, according to unofficial information, expedited police action in the wind park case.

Responding to questions, Rimac said that as soon as she became a suspect, she requested to be relieved of her duties as state secretary at the Public Administration Ministry because she considered it an obligation and a duty.

“I also asked to leave the (HDZ) party after 24 years because I considered it an obligation and a duty. I was a member for 24 years and I understand the party’s actions because it wasn’t the only expulsion in all these years.”

In late August, the USKOK anti-corruption office expanded the investigation into Rimac for the third time, on which occasion she said she was not guilty.

USKOK suspects her and a number of politicians, heads of public companies and businessmen of a score of corruption crimes, from favouring companies for the construction of wind parks to fixing civil service exams.
