RATISLAVA (SLOVAKIA) – The acquittal of a businessman accused of organising the 2018 murder of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee has been cancelled by Slovakia’s Supreme Court. the court has ordered a new trial, following an appeal from prosecutors.
A lower court last year acquitted Marian Kocner, in a case that shook Slovakia and led to mass protests against graft in government, citing lack of evidence.
