The prosecutor in the case against the company's former head, Boško Šrot, recommended the defendant receive five years in prison for abuse of office. In his final remarks, Jože Kozina stressed that Šrot was not on trial for the takeover, but for using and abusing the financial resources of the acquired companies, and the liabilities that were thereby incurred.

Šrot is already serving more than five years in prison for the illegal reselling of shares of Istrabenz.
