Prison Guards Among Those Charged in Major Drug and Mobile Phone Smuggling Operation

Slovak police conducted a major operation called "Tábor" in early May targeting an extensive smuggling network that brought drugs and mobile phones into prisons. Among those charged in the case is at least one prison guard, highlighting corruption within the country's correctional system. The operation represents a significant crackdown on contraband smuggling that has long plagued Slovak prisons, where mobile phones and narcotics are often smuggled to inmates through corrupt staff or elaborate schemes involving visitors and suppliers.
