Share:
A major fraud trial involving luxury resorts in Donovaly and Báč will resume in June after defendant Jana Šlachtová waived her right to legal defense. Only defendant Peter Pecha attended the recent court hearing, where he rejected the charges against him. The case also involves Marian Kočner, a controversial businessman connected to multiple high-profile criminal cases in Slovakia, whose defense team has dismissed the prosecution's case as confused and incoherent. The trial centers on alleged fraudulent activities related to the development and operation of these tourist destinations. Kočner, who was not present at the hearing, has also pleaded not guilty to the charges.
