The name of the CEO of the Hungarian MOL could appear on Interpol’s wanted list on Monday. This is due to a European arrest warrant that has recently been a topic of intense discussion in the Croatian public. Zsolt Hernadi is suspected of bribery in the case of the sale of a stake in INA. The Hungarian judiciary will decide on the arrest warrant.
It is precisely this undisputed authority of the Prime Minister and the president of the then ruling party that you have used to impose your stance that these are contracts beneficial and of interest to the Republic of Croatia, said the president of the Judicial Council of the County Court in Zagreb, Ivan Turudić, on November 20, 2012.
Thus, former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting bribes in the sale of shares in INA. One of the pieces of evidence is a recording of him talking with the CEO of the Hungarian MOL. It seems that Hernadi will also have his say, as he has been avoiding Croatian authorities for some time. Therefore, a procedure has been initiated for issuing an Interpol wanted notice, and then a European arrest warrant.
The extradition procedure between member states has been replaced by the surrender procedure based on the European arrest warrant, or to clarify – the traditional system of judicial cooperation between EU member states, which was based on international extradition treaties, has been replaced by the European arrest warrant, stated Martina Mihordin, spokesperson for the State Attorney’s Office.
