The peace was superficial and didn’t last long; but at Olimpija, we’ve grown accustomed to this. Whenever things settle around the club, it’s only a matter of time before something explodes somewhere. This time, in the club’s management, Köln has filed criminal charges against three representatives of Olimpija (they haven’t named them), and the Dragons are not expected to sit idle. First, with a rather concise statement for the public, Christian Dollinger, the club’s vice president, spoke up, and now Igor Barišić, the business director of the current Slovenian champions, has also spoken out.
“Yesterday, through the media, we received news that 1. FC Köln filed criminal charges against three leading members of NK Olimpija. We don’t know why or on what basis. We understand this announcement as a desperate attempt to divert attention from the criminal act committed by responsible persons from FC Köln and to influence the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS),” emphasized Igor Barišić for Sportklub.
Igor Barišić: “Attempt rejected”
The German-Croatian official, who is the right-hand man of club president Adam Delius, didn’t stop there. Igor Barišić was quite harsh further on, accusing Köln, among other things, of attempting to bribe the Olimpija leadership!
“The fact is that FIFA has banned 1. FC Köln from transfers for two transfer windows. The fact is that the management of 1. FC Köln appealed against this decision. The fact is that, after hearing, FIFA insisted on the two-window punishment. The fact is that Köln induced the player to breach the contract. The fact is that Olimpija operates solely within the contractual specifications of the association, which are in line with FIFA’s. The fact is that Olimpija did not want to sell the player. The fact is that Olimpija filed a lawsuit for compensation. The fact is that Köln offered compensation if Olimpija made a false statement to CAS and stated that the termination without notice was justified. The fact is that the club’s leadership rejected this attempted bribery,” continued Igor Barišić, concluding that Olimpija will, if necessary, initiate criminal charges for inducing false testimony.
