Slovakia Búrka corruption case indictment

Overview

A prosecutor has filed an indictment against Monika Jankovská, the former state secretary of the Ministry of Justice, in connection with the Búrka corruption case. The indictment, confirmed by the Bratislava Regional Prosecutor's Office and the Specialized Criminal Court, includes charges of accepting bribes through complicity, bending the law, bribery, and interfering with the independence of the judiciary.

The investigation, which began in March 2020, utilized communications from Marián Kočner via the Threema application and testimonies from former judge Vladimír Sklenka. A central component of the case involves allegations that Jankovská pressured Judge Zuzana Maruniaková regarding a case involving Markíza television ownership transfers. While the indictment has been submitted, the broader Búrka investigation continues.
