On Monday, June 22, 2026, the main hearing in the case of the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová continues at the Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok.

The hearing also concerns the joined case of the preparation of the murders of prosecutors Maroš Žilinka, Daniel Lipšic, and Peter Šufliarsky. The Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic overturned the previous two verdicts in the case, which is why it is again being heard before the Specialized Criminal Court. According to available information, Tóth stated that among the defendants he personally knows only Marian Kočner. He reportedly knew Alena Zsuzsová only through the Threema application. SITA ↗

The witness is also expected to comment on the "Na pranieri" (On the Pillory) project, which, according to him, served only as a cover operation. In the past, Tóth also testified in court about his knowledge related to Marian Kočner and Alena Zsuzsová. His testimony is precisely among the closely watched parts of the reopened evidentiary proceedings. STVR (Spravy) ↗

Further developments in the case will depend on the continuation of the evidentiary proceedings and the evaluation of the testimonies of the summoned witnesses. The case remains one of the most significant criminal proceedings connected to the murder of a journalist in Slovakia. teraz.sk ↗
