Former Special Prosecutor Returns to Office After Corruption Conviction Overturned

Dušan Kováčik has officially returned to the General Prosecutor's Office and is receiving his salary after the Supreme Court overturned his corruption conviction. The former special prosecutor had been serving an eight-year prison sentence for corruption charges before the court's landmark decision freed him from prison. Justice Minister Boris Susko played a key role in facilitating Kováčik's return to the prosecutor's office. The Special Prosecutor's Office in Slovakia handles major corruption and organized crime cases, making this development particularly significant for the country's justice system. Kováčik's reinstatement marks a dramatic reversal of fortune for the former prosecutor, whose career appeared to be permanently over following his conviction.
