Share:
The criminal trial of businessman Marian Kočner in the Donovaly and Báč corruption cases is set to continue after a pause lasting more than a month. Kočner, a controversial figure who has been linked to multiple high-profile corruption scandals in Slovakia, faces charges alongside two other defendants in these cases. Kočner gained notoriety for his alleged connections to the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová in 2018, though he was acquitted of ordering those killings. The Donovaly and Báč cases represent separate corruption allegations involving the businessman, who has become a central figure in Slovakia's efforts to address organized crime and political corruption.
