It was claimed that Valdec with Ante Roso (an Croatian Military general) and present days chief of Croatian Intelligence Daniel Markić, had been in contact with top French intelligence officer Philippe Rondot in order to hide escapee Ante Gotovina in the south of France. Salih Fazlić, convicted for providing of forged documents for Gotovina, claimed that Robert Valdec indeed traveled with these documents around the world while Gotovina hid in Croatia. Valdec has never denied it. Today Robert Valdec is openly working for Vladimir Putin. He is a hybrid warrior of Moscow.
