Former Police Chief Gašpar and Ex-Prosecutor Kováčik Implicated in Organized Crime Trial

Zoltán Andruskó, a key witness in Slovakia's most prominent organized crime trial, has provided testimony implicating former National Police Chief Tibor Gašpar and former Special Prosecutor Dušan Kováčik in criminal activities. The testimony comes as part of ongoing proceedings related to major corruption and organized crime cases that have dominated Slovak politics in recent years. Separately, Deputy Prime Minister Taraba has been given additional time to address territorial zoning issues. The developments highlight continuing fallout from high-level corruption scandals that have reshaped Slovakia's political landscape since the 2018 murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak, which exposed extensive ties between organized crime figures and senior officials.
