Police Confirm Investigation Into Criminal Complaint Against Prime Minister Fico

Slovak police have confirmed they are investigating a criminal complaint filed against Prime Minister Robert Fico by opposition politician Branislav Gröhling. The case is being handled by the National Criminal Agency's Office for Combating Organized Crime (ÚBOK), which deals with serious crimes including organized crime and corruption cases. Gröhling, a member of the liberal opposition party Freedom and Solidarity (SaS), announced on social media Thursday that police had begun investigating Fico for treason and other criminal offenses. The development represents a significant escalation in political tensions between Slovakia's ruling Smer-SD party, led by Fico, and the opposition, though the specific details of the allegations have not been disclosed by authorities.
