Court Proceedings Continue Against Former Intelligence Chief in Iskra Case
Share:
The Specialized Criminal Court resumed hearings in the case against Aurel Ugor, former head of Slovakia's National Security Bureau (NBÚ), though the defendant was not present at the proceedings. Prosecutors allege Ugor caused damages exceeding 8.5 million euros in connection with the Iskra project, an information system designed for crisis management. The National Security Bureau is Slovakia's civilian intelligence service responsible for protecting state security and classified information. The Specialized Criminal Court handles cases involving organized crime, corruption, and crimes against state security, making it the appropriate venue for cases involving high-level officials from intelligence agencies.
