Planned Murder of Slovakia's General Prosecutor Was Designed to Look Like Mafia Execution, Court Told

A planned assassination of Slovakia's General Prosecutor Maroš Žilinka was intended to appear as a mafia-style execution, according to testimony from Zoltán Andruskó in court. Andruskó, a key witness in high-profile murder cases, provided details about the plot against Žilinka, who heads the General Prosecutor's Office, Slovakia's highest prosecutorial authority responsible for overseeing major criminal cases and coordinating the country's prosecution system. The revelation adds another layer to concerns about threats against senior judicial and prosecutorial officials in Slovakia, where several prominent figures in the justice system have faced security risks in recent years.
