Ján Kuciak murder trial continues with reading of evidence
The trial regarding the 2018 murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová has continued at the Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok. The proceedings currently involve the reading of documentary evidence.
Defendants Marian Kočner and Alena Zsuzsová, who are accused of ordering the murders, requested to participate in the proceedings in their absence. Dušan K. was noted as the only defendant present during recent sessions. The trial also encompasses charges related to the attempted murder of prosecutors Maroš Žilinka and Daniel Lipšic.
Previously, the executors of the Kuciak murder, Miroslav Marček and Tomáš Szabó, received 25-year prison sentences, while mediator Zoltán Andruskó was sentenced to 15 years. This case has returned to the Specialized Criminal Court following the annulment of previous verdicts by the Supreme Court.
