Convicted Informant Confirms Leaking Police Intelligence in Exchange for Bribes

A convicted member of a corruption network has confirmed that he leaked sensitive information from Slovakia's elite police unit in exchange for bribes. The accused, Jozef Rehák, was a senior official within NAKA — the National Criminal Agency, Slovakia's equivalent of an FBI-style investigative unit that handles serious organized crime and corruption cases. Rehák's confirmation of the allegations represents a significant development in a case that strikes at the integrity of the country's top law enforcement body. The leaking of internal police intelligence is particularly damaging in Slovakia, where concerns about the infiltration of state institutions by organized crime networks have long been a matter of public and political debate. The case underscores ongoing efforts by prosecutors to hold accountable those within the security services who may have compromised investigations for personal gain.
