Ivo Sanader, Prime Minister of Croatia from 2003 to 2009, faced multiple corruption indictments resulting in a combined sentence of 18 years and 8 months for three final convictions. These cases include the Fimi Media case, involving the embezzlement of state funds and corporate money for himself and the HDZ party; the Planinska case, concerning bribery and kickbacks from an office building sale; and the Ina-MOL case, regarding the receipt of bribes to grant management rights to the energy giant MOL.
Sanader was definitively acquitted of war profiteering in the Hypo Bank case and charges regarding electricity sales to the Dioki company. Following his service of over nine years in prison, he was released on parole in 2023.
