A court hearing has been scheduled to question the gunman in the murder case of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak. Miroslav Marček, who previously confessed to the killing, is set to be questioned as part of the ongoing legal proceedings. Kuciak, a journalist who investigated corruption and organized crime, was murdered along with his fiancée Martina Kušnírová in February 2018 at their home outside Bratislava. The double murder shocked Slovakia and led to mass protests that forced the resignation of Prime Minister Robert Fico's government. The case has exposed links between organized crime and high-level politics in Slovakia.
