SSI Schäfer’s director, Marko Štingl, issued a statement addressing recent claims regarding the alleged systematic disadvantage in employee wage payments and benefits. Štingl stated that these accusations stem primarily from statements made by former lawyer Špela Mesesnel. According to the company’s explanation, the allegations predominantly concern the period spanning 2014 through 2020, although some media reports have extended the timeframe to include 2022.
Štingl emphasized the lack of formal substantiation for these claims. He noted, “Despite the seriousness of these accusations and the long period of their public exposure to date, they have not been confirmed in court proceedings or in proceedings before the competent supervisory bodies. Nor have they been confirmed by reviews carried out by independent legal and accounting experts.”
The company representative further provided a detailed chronology of the inspections conducted.
The statement implies that the legal basis for the claims remains unproven. Štingl’s response aims to counter the narrative that systemic financial irregularities occurred after the specified years, asserting that the documented findings do not support the basis of the accusations leveled against the firm. The company maintains that the allegations lack validation from established judicial or expert review processes.
