Former owner of Dioki and key witness against former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader in the case of receiving bribes from Hungarian MOL, Robert Ježić, after testifying in the retrial of the Fimi media case, did not want to answer a journalist’s question about when he would pay five million euros to the state, which he admitted was paid to him by Hungarian MOL as a bribe to Sanader in order to hand over management rights in INA to the Hungarians.

– You are really not normal, Ježić told the press team that asked him on Tuesday after his testimony at the Zagreb County Court when he would pay the money he allegedly received for Sanader into the budget of his Swiss company.
Ježić made the promise to pay five million euros into the state budget back in October 2012 when he was questioned as a crown witness in the first trial against Sanader, in which the former prime minister was sentenced to 8.5 years in prison.
Although he initially stated that he would return the money even if Sanader was not convicted, he later changed his story. After the verdict became final, he stated from Switzerland that it had not been delivered to him, and when the Constitutional Court annulled it, he claimed that there was no basis for the return of the money because there was no final verdict.
