European Court of Human Rights Rules in Favor of Former Slovak Prosecutor General Against State
Share:
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled in favor of Rastislav Trnka, Slovakia's former prosecutor general, in a legal dispute that began thirteen years ago involving Richard Raši. The court's decision requires the Slovak state to pay Trnka nearly 9,000 euros in compensation. Trnka served as Slovakia's prosecutor general from 2011 to 2019 and was a controversial figure who faced criticism over his handling of several high-profile corruption cases. The ruling represents a significant legal victory for Trnka after more than a decade of litigation, though the specific details of the dispute with Raši, a prominent Slovak politician and former interior minister, were not disclosed in the court's decision.
