Janez Janša was convicted of accepting gifts in connection with the Patria case, resulting in a two-year prison sentence and a fine of 37,000 euros. Janša served his sentence in the open section of the Dob prison from June to December 2014. The legal proceedings surrounding the Patria case underwent significant changes.
In April 2015, the Constitutional Court annulled the previous judgments related to the case, directing that the matter be returned to the Ljubljana District Court for reconsideration. However, this legal process concluded when the Patria case became legally time-barred in September 2015. Following these developments, Janša sought compensation for what he described as an unreasonable deprivation of liberty spanning 176 days.
He claimed that legal interest on this compensation should accrue from September 29, 2017, and estimated the amount for unlawful interference to be around 100,000 euros. These legal actions highlight the protracted nature of the case and the subsequent appeals process within the Slovenian judicial system.
