Court proceedings begin in corruption case against Košice regional governor Trnka
Share:
A court in Námestovo has begun proceedings on charges filed against Rastislav Trnka, the governor of the Košice region in eastern Slovakia. The case represents a significant development in a long-running corruption investigation that has followed Trnka, who leads one of Slovakia's eight regional governments. The timing of the court proceedings could potentially influence upcoming elections, as regional governors in Slovakia are directly elected officials who oversee local administration, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions within their jurisdictions.
