Poà ¾areport.si is a Slovenian news and opinion website and blog that focuses on political and corruption events, investigative reporting into government corruption, nepotism, government controlled corporations, and personal disclosures about Slovenian politicians, media, and local media personalities and celebrities.
The website offers mainly original content and it publishes up to two articles per day. Poà ¾areport was first to publish some of the largest scandals in Slovenia, including a politically sensitive BariÃÂeviàaffair. In the current Slovenian government, three government ministers and some other office holders resigned soon after articles about them were published by Poà ¾areport.
It was founded and it is primarily edited by Bojan Poà ¾ar, an investigative journalist; the name Poà ¾areport is a play on words, with ' () being both Poà ¾ar's surname and the Slovene word for fire.
Poà ¾areport was launched in 2007 by Bojan Poà ¾ar who had until 2016 been an editor-in-chief of Direkt, owned by daily newspaper Dnevnik. In 2016, Poà ¾ar published a book Melania Trump: The Inside Story, depicting life of the First Lady of the United States when she still lived in Slovenia. Since 2017, the Poà ¾areport team runs a daily television political show Faktor. The first producers and journalists were Vladimir Voduà ¡ek, Bojan Poà ¾ar and Sebastjan JeretiÃÂ. As of October 2019, Faktor is made by Aljuà ¡ PertinaÃÂ, Bernard Brà ¡ÃÂiàand Bojan Poà ¾ar.
On February 2, 2010, media reported a respected medical doctor named Saà ¡a BariÃÂeviÃÂ, who regularly treated country's elite including government ministers, was killed by his own dogs. The three Bullmastiffs were well known to Slovenian public from events a few years earlier, when they attacked and severely injured a bypasser on a street. Although at that time the dogs were at first determined to be too dangerous to be kept alive, the Administrative Court, with judge Boà ¡tan Zalar, the brother of a minister of justice Aleà ¡ Zalar, ruled that the dogs should be returned to BariÃÂeviÃÂ.
On February 5, 2010, Poà ¾areport published an article that the police officers found a dildo with a condom near BariÃÂeviÃÂ's dead body. According to Poà ¾areport, the article was viewed more than a million times, which makes it the most read article in the history of Slovenia. This claim has not been disputed.
The article published a crime scene photo, secretly taken by a police officer, showing a mutilated human body, a plastic penis nearby, and an alive dog, which was visibly bloody around its anus. It also published numerous details, leaked from the police investigation, including the BariÃÂeviÃÂ's last words, when the police found him naked and still alive. The article also stated that for decades Saà ¡a BariÃÂeviàhad been a transgender female. In subsequent weeks, the police carried out internal investigation to find a person who leaked the crime scene photographs to Poà ¾areport. In several subsequent articles, Poà ¾areport described the friendship between Saà ¡a BariÃÂeviàand Minister of interior Katarina Kresal and her domestic partner attorney Miro Senica. Articles suspected that there was another person in a garage besides BariÃÂeviÃÂ's dogs. The morning after the tragedy, Minister of Interior unexpectedly did not appear at the weekly government meeting, she reported that she was skiing in St. Moritz, Switzerland, and a few days later she appeared with a bound on her arm. Media published photos from the crime scene of the morning after the BariÃÂeviÃÂ's death, showing Ministry of Agriculture State Secretary Sonja Bukovec crying and hugging sister of BariÃÂeviÃÂ. In the parliament, a motion of no confidence (called interpellation in Slovenia) was initiated against the Minister of Agriculture Milan PogaÃÂnik for numerous irregularities in the events related to BariÃÂeviÃÂ's dogs and the minister resigned. DNA of all three dogs was found on the condom.
In January 2019, Poà ¾areport published a series of articles revealing tax evasion by the Prime Minister Marjan à  arec's Cabinet State Secretary Peter Vilfan. On January 15, Vilfan made a public statement denying allegations. On March 1, 2019, Vilfan resigned.
In February and March 2019, Poà ¾areport published a series of articles disclosing documents that showed how minister Jure Leben and Public Relations agency Futura transferred money from the state budget. Leben resigned due to corruption investigation and "media pressure".
On March 6, 2019, Poà ¾areport disclosed that the European Parliament candidate Katja Damij is heavily in debts and owes unpaid taxes. In another article, Poà ¾areport disclosed that she emailed her business partners denying that she was in debts, and then the political party replaced her with another candidate.
On September 3, 2018, Poà ¾areport disclosed that a minister candidate Tugomir Kodelja had been fired from his previous job due to improper behavior. On September 5, prime minister Marjan à  arec removed him from the candidates' list.
Poà ¾areport and Bojan Poà ¾ar have been sued several times. Most of these lawsuits were unsuccessful, including nine lawsuits by attorney Miro Senica. Senica and former minister Katarina Kresal filed criminal charges against Poà ¾areport or Poà ¾ar eight times, and the authorities dropped all of them.
In 2009 and 2019, in separate cases, Bojan Poà ¾ar was convicted for defamations of Edvard Oven and Viktor Knavs, the father of Melania Trump, but appellate courts annulled both convictions and ruled in Poà ¾ar's favor. Knavs claimed that Poà ¾areport had published that he had been in jail, and Poà ¾ar claimed that the disputed sentence was removed from the website in half an hour as soon as he was informed that it may be false.
