Share:
Marian Kočner, a controversial businessman accused of ordering the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak, presented a new explanation this week regarding encrypted Threema messages that prosecutors consider key evidence in the case. The renewed trial process for the 2018 murders of Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová is expected to continue for the entire year. Kuciak, who investigated corruption and ties between politicians and businessmen, was shot dead along with Kušnírová at their home in February 2018 in a case that sparked massive protests and led to the resignation of Slovakia's prime minister and police chief at the time.
