Sheriff (Slovenia)
 | This article has an unclear citation style. (November 2012) |
In principle, the term Sheriff (Slovene: Šerif) was coined by the Slovenian media in reference to local politicians, usually mayors,[1] who are faced with accusations of political corruption, cronyism or clientelism and are faced or charged with criminal investigations and indictments.[2][3] These politicians are usually successful in eluding the law and in some cases manage to stay in office even after being found guilty by the court of law.[4][5]
