Share:
A police network allegedly led by former interior ministry official Tibor Bödör sought compromising material on a high-ranking official from the Smer party, according to charges in the Očistec case. The investigation reveals that the network's activities extended beyond targeting political opponents to include gathering leverage against members of their own ruling party. The Očistec case centers on allegations that a corrupt police network systematically collected compromising information on political figures and other targets. Smer-SD is Slovakia's ruling social-democratic party, which has been in power for most of the past decade under Prime Minister Robert Fico.
