Key witness Peter Tóth summoned to testify in Kuciak murder case

Peter Tóth has been summoned to testify as a witness in the high-profile murder case of journalist Ján Kuciak, with his court appearance scheduled for June 22 at the Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok. This marks the first time Tóth will take the witness stand during this phase of the proceedings. His testimony could significantly influence the murder case involving Kuciak and the related charges concerning planned assassinations of prosecutors. The Specialized Criminal Court, which handles major organized crime and corruption cases, is overseeing the trial that has gripped Slovakia since the investigative journalist and his fiancée were gunned down in 2018, sparking massive protests and ultimately leading to the resignation of the prime minister.
