Slovenian prosecutors have asked for a corruption investigation against former prime minister Janez Jansa, the STA news agency said Thursday, according to dpa. Jansa, 55, is suspected of making suspicious property deals in 2005, while serving his first term as prime minister, from 2004 to 2008. He allegedly sold land for 130,000 euros (180,000 dollars), 10 times the market value at the time, and allowed property developers to partly finance the purchase of his 100,000-euro home. Those deals featured in a state anti-corruption report that ended Jansa's second term in disgrace 13 months ago after just one year. He had denied any wrongdoing and refused to resign, forcing his coalition partners to drop his conservative Democratic Party and forge a new, centre-left alliance with Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek's centre-left Positive Slovenia. He is now opposition leader. -- SPA 22:56 LOCAL TIME 19:56 GMT تغريد
