State Employee in Košice Caught on Video Working as Driver Instead of Land Registry Duties

A former police officer employed at the land registry office in Košice has been caught on video apparently working as a driver for the head of the local district office rather than performing his official duties. The employee, who has been on the payroll for six months at the cadastral office, was filmed in what appears to be a chauffeur role for Tomáš Kysel, the head of the Košice District Office who represents Hlas, a center-left party that is part of Slovakia's ruling coalition. The case highlights potential misuse of public employment, where the individual receives a state salary for land registry work but allegedly performs unrelated services for a political appointee.
