Gorše also has to pay the penalty of 50 thousand Euros, and his entire property was confiscated. Besides Gorše's property, the property of his father-in-law and of his father was confiscated as well, including a villa in Savudrija.

Yet the confiscated property won't be enough to pay off all of Gorše's debts. The court decided that the difference has to be paid off in two years.

They have "laundered" two million Euros
Gorše's wife Barbara was sentenced to one year in prison, while the co-defendants Vlado Petek and Rudolf Trček will serve one and a half, and one year respectively. They were all charged with aid in committing offence. Altogether over two million Euros have been laundered.

For the first time the property of the extended family was confiscated
The prosecutor is satisfied with the guilty verdict for Gorše. When asked whether she was satisfied with 'only' one year prison sentence for money laundry for the other defendants, she answered that the low penalties are caused by the partially modified qualification of the offence.

She is still considering an appeal, as she proposed for Gorše 12 years in prison. The pronounced sentence, 10 years in prison, is however the heaviest sentence for commercial crime that has been imposed until now. And the message of this heavy sentence for eventual offenders? The prosecutor "hopes they will think three times before venturing into such business". She added that "today it was an important day for the prosecution office and the court of Koper". At the two judicial processes which have just ended the penalties imposed amounted to 70.5 years in prison.

Gorše's comment to the punishment was that "you are all feeble-minded; I've written everything on my website". His defence counsel Emil Zakojšek said the punishment was excessive.

Gorše's commercial frauds
Gorše was charged for commercial fraud, abuse of authority, and money laundering. As a receiver Gorše defrauded the creditors of the construction company Hidro by buying secretly certain claims of Hidra, with the help of the head of the Ofis company, Polona Kuhar and Stajka Skrbinšek, who both confessed guilt.

At the same time he convinced the creditors that they would receive only minimal settlements, while the mentioned claims were then bought by the Ofis company, thus allowing Gorše to gain unlawful financial gain.

Gorše has already been sentenced to four years in prison; the sentence is not yet final
In spring of 2013 Gorše was sentenced to four years in prison for abuse of authority in the bankruptcy procedure of the HKS Sicura company; the sentence is not yet final.
