Specialized Criminal Court reopens proceedings in Sysol corruption case

The Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok has resumed proceedings in the Sysol corruption case after Slovakia's Supreme Court overturned the original verdicts and returned the case for retrial. The court must now re-examine all evidence and reassess the credibility of key witnesses in the high-profile corruption case. The Specialized Criminal Court, which handles major corruption and organized crime cases in Slovakia, will conduct a fresh review of the proceedings that had previously resulted in convictions that have now been invalidated by the country's highest judicial authority.
