Ljubljana – Is it OK to accept a luxury vehicle as a gift?

Things got complicated for the Slovenian government after it announced BMW Slovenia was offering it 100 new vehicles for free for five years, after which it would either have to purchase them or give them back.
The government said the deal would allow it to redirect funds toward building solar reactors on its buildings and schools.But the anti-corruption body says the government cannot have sponsors, and labour unions question the government need of 100 luxury cars. Local media blasted the deal and said it raises questions of impartiality, competition and corruption.Following the furore, the government said on Wednesday it would ask the anti-graft body for its opinion.

lol, but seriously, . For a company that cans the concept CS because of the rough economic climate yet it gives a 100 cars to the govt for free with an option to purchase them after 5 years? Yeah, I know 100 cars is a drop in the ocean for BMW, but that is one helluva shady business deal.
