Kuciak Murder Case to Continue with Testimony from Convicted Killer Marček

The high-profile murder case of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak is set to continue with testimony from Miroslav Marček, one of the convicted killers. Marček is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for the murders of Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová. The 2018 double murder shocked Slovakia and triggered massive anti-corruption protests that ultimately led to the resignation of then-Prime Minister Robert Fico and his government. Kuciak had been investigating alleged ties between Slovak politicians and the Italian 'Ndrangheta mafia at the time of his killing. The case has remained one of the most significant criminal proceedings in modern Slovak history, with ongoing legal proceedings involving other suspects connected to the murders.
