Juraj Cintula, the man charged with attempting to assassinate Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, is scheduled to appear before the Supreme Court again according to the court's hearing schedule. The Supreme Court, Slovakia's highest judicial authority, has listed the case for upcoming proceedings. Cintula was arrested in May 2024 after shooting Prime Minister Fico multiple times in the town of Handlová following a government meeting, leaving the premier critically injured and requiring emergency surgery. The attack shocked Slovakia and led to heightened security measures around government officials.
