   • 2024 December 27, Peter Petrovčič, Vsi smo Janez Janša‎^[1]:

     Tudi zadeva Trenta, v kateri se je sojenje začelo letos, je takšna. Zagrožena je zaporna kazen. Težava je morda še večja kot pri Patrii, saj primer ni utemeljen na prvenstveno posrednih dokazih, pač pa so ti predvsem neposredni, listinski.

     The Trenta case, in which the trial began this year, is also like this. A prison sentence is threatened. The problem is perhaps even greater than in Patria, because the case is not based on primarily circumstantial evidence, but rather on direct, documentary evidence.
