The Raiffeisen Bank had already exposed Prime Minister Robert Golob as a liar back in April. The opening of a bank account in his name at the Romanian branch was not a case of identity theft! It is a pity that the show Tarča (Target) on national television kept silent about this revelation for several years. We are publishing the recording of the revelation about the bank account in Romania; however, there is also a bank account in Italy.
The Raiffeisen Bank affair broke out before the April 2022 elections, when Robert Golob claimed that the account that was opened under his name at a Raiffeisen Bank in Romania was a case of identity theft, and that he had already instructed the police to investigate it and that he would file a criminal complaint. Nothing came of this. The national media outlet, Radio-Television Slovenia (RTVS), has now revealed that they received a response from Raiffeisen Bank in April this year stating that the opening of the account “was not a case of identity theft.”
This means that the account at the bank in Romania, a few minutes away from the Romanian branch of Gen-I, the company he used to run, was opened by Golob himself.
The show Tarča also sought an answer to the question of whether Golob had filed any criminal complaints with the Romanian court, but this information was not disclosed to journalists. The only person who can clarify this is Golob himself. Tarča therefore sought an answer from Golob or his office. In May this year, they replied that “the bank had admitted that this was a case of human error,” and that “an additional claim for damages against the bank” was being prepared.
When Tarča asked for proof that the bank had admitted the error the day after this response, at the end of May 2025, they received the reply: “The Prime Minister’s office does not have this information.”
Tarča did not give up and exchanged six more letters over the next few days, all without success. They therefore turned to Golob’s Freedom Movement party (Gibanje Svoboda) with their questions, which did not respond at all. It is therefore up to Robert Golob to explain this, but he apparently does not want to do that.
There are even more unexplained things: payments to a lawyer, Vuković
Golob’s Romanian bank account is not the only thing he should explain, however. The transfers to Vesna Vuković, a former journalist and then Secretary-General of the Freedom Movement party, which she received from the state-owned Gen-I energy company when it was still headed by Robert Golob, have still not been explained. Although she promised answers years ago, we have not yet received them.
Payments to attorney Stojan Zdolšek, who represents Robert Golob in several cases, are also unexplained. In this case as well, Tarča asked Golob’s office to provide evidence of who is paying for Zdolšek’s services a year ago. They did not receive a response. It should be added that the Erar online database for the portrayal of public money spending shows that lawyer Zdolšek has so far received large payments from state-owned companies, namely the Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SDH), the Motorway Company of the Republic of Slovenia (DARS), Gen-I, and the Holding of Slovenian Power Plants. Whether this is related in any way remains unknown. Both Golob and Zdolšek are staying silent on this matter, even though they could have made the information public. This is especially true for Prime Minister Robert Golob, who said before the elections that his business would be “transparent and open.”
Golob’s company Star Solar: Revenues continue to rise
The bank account in Romania is not the only one. There is another bank account opened abroad, in the name of the company Star Solar, which is 100 percent owned by Robert Golob. The account is held at Banca di Cividale S.P.A., Italy (source: the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Public Legal Records and Related Services – AJPES).
Furthermore, the monthly revenues of Star Solar, whose headquarters were relocated from Nova Gorica to Trubarjeva Street in Ljubljana, are increasing significantly. Data from the Erar database shows that monthly amounts already exceed 40,000 euros, and from October 2015 to date, the company has received more than 2.3 million euros from Borzen, the electricity market operator. According to media reports, the company’s director, Maksimiljana Polak, is currently employed by Gen-I. Last year, the company had 1.95 employees (based on working hours) and a total (carried forward) profit of almost 600,000 euros.
