Supreme Court to Review Case of Prime Minister Assassination Attempt
Share:
Slovakia's Supreme Court will examine the case of the assassination attempt on Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday. The Supreme Court, the country's highest judicial authority, is reviewing the legal classification of charges against Juraj C., the alleged gunman. There was no doubt that Juraj C. committed the act, but the disputed issue concerns the proper legal qualification of his actions under Slovak law. The case stems from the May 2024 shooting of Fico in Handlová, which left the prime minister hospitalized with serious injuries and shocked the nation during a period of intense political polarization.
