Where did the court file on the denationalization of the Mayer family's property disappear?
In this video, Federico Pignatelli addresses the denationalization proceedings regarding his family's property. For many years, his attorney Tjaša Andree Prosenc told him that matters in Slovenian judiciary drag on due to corruption, requiring patience to achieve property restitution.
After revoking her authorization and hiring other attorneys, a shocking discovery followed. The entire court file concerning the Mayer family's property restitution disappeared from the court archive. It remains unclear whether and how proceedings were concluded. How is this possible regarding a court archive, not a private one? Who removed this file and why? Was the case concluded, and if so, where did the compensation funds go?
Pignatelli notes lacking direct evidence but logically concludes that Prosenc removed the file, based on her documented possession of materials accessible only through this case file. What could motivate such action? Did the state already transfer funds belonging to the injured family that the attorney failed to deliver? Remarkably, this appears to be the only denationalization file mysteriously vanishing from archives.
The video details assets the family should recover: compensation for three well-furnished villas and properties in Bled, valuable equipment from their Ljubljana residence including silverware, paintings, artwork, antique furniture, carpets, and gold from the family bank account. The Emerik Mayer family achieved exceptional business success and substantial wealth.
Their property was stolen by communist authorities at war's end. The regime falsely imprisoned, tortured, and killed Emerik based on malicious lies from a fired employee, claiming Nazi collaboration despite lacking evidence. Slovenia symbolically addressed this injustice by rehabilitating him in the 1980s based on testimony from partisan families he protected during the war.
The family has never received material compensation despite denationalization proceedings lasting decades. Were Federico's funds stolen? The denationalization story continues.
