Slovak Court Acquits Lawyer Connected to Takáč Group Despite Smer Party Support
Share:
A Slovak court has acquitted a lawyer associated with the Takáč criminal group, a case that had drawn support from the ruling Smer-SD party. Judge Kapinaj, who presided over the case, expressed doubts about whether the alleged crime actually occurred, leading to the acquittal. The judge also referenced the Čurilla group case, where his potential bias had previously been questioned. The Takáč group is one of several organized crime cases that have drawn political attention in Slovakia, with Smer-SD, the ruling social-democratic party, having publicly defended the lawyer during the proceedings.
