Croatian anti-corruption bureau USKOK is investigating the Youth of Croatian Democratic Union (Mladez HDZ) for handing out close to 67,700 Euros to their members for "volunteering" in the campaign.
The youth branch of the conservative majority HDZ party is said to have paid its members between 5,000 and 10,000 kunas (677 to 1,355 Euros) in the first couple of months of 2008.
This money was never part of the party’s official budget and is suspected to have come from some public organisation.
HDZ Youth members would come to the government building Banski Dvori to pick up the money, the daily Jutarnji List writes. Although no official party record of volunteers exists, the name of the suspected HDZ Youth members are registered in the building’s sign-in log.
HDZ Youth was headed at the time by Mislav Banek, a personal choice of the country’s then-Prime Minister, Ivo Sanader.
Ivo Sanader is currently being investigated for fraud in his home country and in Austria.
