• Sports journalist Ivan Blažičko confirmed he received cash from former Croatian Ski Association head Vedran Pavlek for work at the Sljeme race three years ago.
  • Blažičko was questioned by USKOK but denies any involvement in money laundering through fake invoices.
  • He stated he never issued an invoice to the Ski Association and told Pavlek he could work without payment.
  • His name appeared in the Pavlek affair after a payout list with 120,000 euros in cash was discovered.
  • Blažičko is outraged that he is being portrayed as part of the scandal.
