Police Inspection Defends Against Opposition Criticism Over Vietnamese Kidnapping Investigation

Slovakia's Police Inspection has rejected accusations from the opposition Freedom and Solidarity party (SaS) that it is failing to act in the investigation of a Vietnamese national's kidnapping. The inspection emphasized that only the investigator and supervising prosecutor have access to the case file. SaS, a liberal opposition party, had criticized the police inspection for alleged inaction in the case. The Police Inspection, which handles investigations into police misconduct and serious crimes involving law enforcement, maintains that the investigation is ongoing despite the opposition's claims.
