Expelled MP Claims His 2 Million Euro Wealth is Legal as He Accuses Police of Targeted Investigation

Ján Ferenčák, expelled today from the Hlas party, claimed his estimated 2 million euro wealth is entirely legal and properly declared in tax filings and asset declarations. The member of parliament accused Slovakia's police inspection of orchestrating a targeted criminal investigation against him, alleging the same operative involved in his case also handled proceedings against the Čurillos, a family previously linked to organized crime cases. Ferenčák warned that Rudolf Huliak, leader of a splinter group that broke from the Slovak National Party, now wields power equivalent to the prime minister because his three parliamentary votes determine what legislation passes or fails. Hlas, a center-left party that forms part of Slovakia's ruling coalition alongside Smer-SD and the Slovak National Party, removed Ferenčák amid the ongoing investigation that resulted in authorities seizing land belonging to his family business.
