Slovakia's Prosecutor General Removes Prosecutor from Major Corruption Case After Court Filing Error

Prosecutor General Maroš Žilinka has removed prosecutor Michal Žeňuch from supervising a major corruption case known as the "Čurillovci" investigation after Žeňuch filed a detention motion with the wrong court. Two separate courts determined that the prosecutor submitted the detention request to an incorrect judicial body. Žilinka will now assess whether Žeňuch violated his official duties in handling the high-profile case. The Čurillovci case involves allegations of corruption and organized crime activities, making it one of Slovakia's closely watched prosecutions handled by the Special Prosecutor's Office, which deals with major corruption and organized crime cases.
