Slovak Prime Minister Targets Judge as Court Chief Moves to Remove Her
Share:
Prime Minister Robert Fico has launched an attack against judge Pamela Záleská, prompting the head of the specialized court to propose stripping her of her judicial robes. Záleská, who serves on Slovakia's specialized criminal court which handles major corruption and organized crime cases, considers the proposal to be harassment. The development represents an escalation in tensions between Slovakia's political leadership and the judiciary, with Fico's government increasingly at odds with judges handling high-profile cases. Specialized courts in Slovakia deal with the most serious criminal matters, including corruption cases that often involve political figures.
