Slovak Court Rejects Prosecutor's Appeal to Detain Police Officers Čurilla and Ďurka

A Bratislava regional court rejected a prosecutor's appeal to place two police officers, Ján Čurilla and Pavol Ďurka, in pre-trial detention. The court upheld a ruling from March 6 by judge Tomáš Hajduk, who determined that the prosecutor had filed the detention request with the wrong court. The judge also questioned the validity of the charges against both officers. The case involves former police chief Tibor Gašpar, who has entered the proceedings as a damaged party. The court's decision means both officers will remain free while the investigation continues.
