Slovak Prosecutor General Shifts High-Profile Kajúcnik Case to Different Regional Office

Slovakia's Prosecutor General Maroš Žilinka has transferred the Kajúcnik criminal case from its current regional prosecutor's office to a different jurisdiction, continuing a pattern of interventions in ongoing investigations. Žilinka simultaneously ordered a review of the procedures followed by the prosecutor who had been handling the case until now. The Kajúcnik case involves allegations connected to a real estate development project that has drawn public attention, though specific details of the charges were not disclosed. This transfer represents another instance of Žilinka exercising his authority to reassign cases between regional prosecutor's offices, a practice that has become a hallmark of his tenure as the country's top prosecutor.
