# Slovak Ministry of Interior radar procurement controversy > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/slovak-ministry-of-interior-radar-procurement-controversy > Updated: 2026-11-02T10:37:47.000Z. Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Stop Corruption Foundation raised concerns that the Slovak Ministry of Interior attempted to conceal a 1.5 million euro purchase of 25 speed radars from the company Soitron within a larger 22 million euro IT equipment contract. The foundation also alleged that the radars lacked necessary certification at the time of the order and called for official investigations. The Ministry of Interior denied allegations of concealment, stating that the item was explicitly listed in the public registry and that generic labels were merely automated accounting designations. Officials further clarified that the order was effectively canceled in September and that the ministry does not intend to take delivery of the equipment. Following these developments, the opposition party Progressive Slovakia criticized the government regarding the purchase of the Russian-origin radar cameras. The opposition noted that despite the National Security Authority confirming the equipment posed a security risk, a former department director involved in the project is reportedly set to take a new leadership role within the Ministry of Interior in November 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-02: Slovak Interior Minister criticizes European protests and radar scandal Slovak Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok commented on European protests over living costs and faced criticism regarding a personnel move linked to a Russian radar procurement scandal. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/slovak-interior-minister-criticizes-european-protests-and-radar-scandal ### 2026-10-29: Slovak Ministry of Interior denies hiding radar purchase in IT contract The Slovak Ministry of Interior denied claims that it hid a 1.5 million euro radar purchase within an IT contract, stating the order was canceled and will be replaced by a public tender. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/slovak-ministry-of-interior-denies-hiding-radar-purchase-in-it-contract --- Cite as: Slovak Ministry of Interior radar procurement controversy.
