FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A court in Slovenia has sentenced a former European Parliament lawmaker to jail after he admitted to agreeing to take a bribe to change EU legislation in a British newspaper sting.
On Tuesday, Zoran Thaler was given a 30-month jail term as well as a 32,250-euro fine. The court also banned him from public office for five years.
However, Ljubljana district court judge Irena Skulj Gradisar ruled that Thaler would only spend weekends behind bars.
Thaler stepped down in March 2011 after Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper caught him and several other Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from other countries in a sting.
Records by undercover reporters indicated that he was ready to lobby in their favor in exchange for bribes in a sting, which was aimed at exposing corruption in Brussels.
Thaler, who served as Slovenia’s foreign minister from 1995 to 1997, reached a plea bargain with prosecutors in January, in which he agreed to confess to his guilt over the bribery.
According to Slovenian media reports, he expressed regret and apology over his involvement in what he described as a “staged scandal.”
In June 2013, former Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa was sentenced to two years in jail on charges of soliciting bribes in the country’s largest defense agreement in 2006.
Slovenia joined EU in 2004 and adopted the euro as its currency in 2007.
