The Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization of the Slovak Republic (MIRRI) has filed criminal proceedings against an unidentified perpetrator in connection with the liquidation of the state-owned joint stock company Slovensko IT. The company reported cumulative losses of more than EUR 7 million and very serious misconduct, which has been dealt with by the Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic (SAO). MIRRI reported the news on Monday.
“The state equity attempt cost taxpayers a total of 10 million euros, the accumulated losses of Slovak IT companies have exceeded 7 million euros, and the state will have to pay millions more euros to completely put an end to this well-known business.” Minister of Investment Richard Raši (Voice-SD) said. The National Audit Office also uncovered 27 cases of serious malfeasance, illegal acts and waste of state funds. Raši said that according to the findings of the ministry’s internal investigation, this should also constitute a criminal offense.
The law enforcement authorities should find out whether the company’s irresponsible behavior caused damage to the state and identify those responsible for this misconduct. Based on the SAO’s inspection, an agreement was drawn up, which showed that the founder of Slovensko IT acted beyond the scope of his legal authority.
First, they caused damage worth €500,000, then they illegally rented a property in Košice
According to the SAO agreement, the damage caused by the bylaws was close to EUR 498,000. Another damage occurred when a property was rented out in Košice, which was rented out in violation of the law. “Given the extent of the damage caused to date, and based on the SAO’s findings and the facts arising from the SAO agreement, the ministry filed a criminal complaint and referred the case for further proceedings.” Added current department heads.
The ministry said that according to the SAO report, the stated goal of Slovenia IT – saving public resources in implementing IT projects – could not be achieved given the way the company was managed since its inception. The inspection showed that the company’s statutory directors acted in a manner inconsistent with the interests of the company and its shareholders and in accordance with the company’s articles of association.
The staff was incompetent, underqualified, and their job responsibilities were not fulfilled, but Remisova spoke about bullying and intimidation by the opposition
Raši also drew attention to the improper selection process of employees who, according to him, were not sufficiently qualified to perform their duties. The incompetence of employees should have led to the use of subcontractors and the establishment of dependence on third parties. Former Minister of Investment and Informatization Veronika Remišová (Slovakia, for the people, KÚ) has so far rejected the claims of the current minister and said in June this year that this was bullying and intimidation of the opposition.
