Susko Faces Criticism Over Justice System Changes Following Gelnica Case
Justice Minister Boris Susko will file a disciplinary motion with the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic for possible breach of duties in connection with the events that preceded the June murder of a teacher in Gelnica. Following an inspection, the ministry stated that the case involved a failure, and the minister also announced that a criminal report would be filed. SITA ↗
The case concerns the tragic death of 47-year-old teacher Zuzana V., who was murdered in Gelnica. According to published information, the ministry investigated the procedures preceding the attack, particularly the circumstances surrounding the decision-making and informing of the victim. Zuzana reportedly requested information about the release of her husband, but did not receive this information. postoj.sk ↗
The disciplinary motion is to be directed at the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic and concerns a possible error by a judge. The ministry also wants to verify whether the proceedings of the relevant authorities constituted conduct relevant to criminal law. Susko is thus linking the disciplinary procedure with a criminal report that is to investigate other circumstances of the case. Standard.sk ↗
The development has also prompted a discussion about changes to the justice system that the minister submitted to the government for consideration. The opposition SaS party claims that the proposals would restrict open access for quality lawyers to the judiciary, since the current system, according to Mária Kolíková, allows experienced lawyers, prosecutors, notaries, and academics to apply for judicial positions if they meet the legal professional requirements. The Justice Ministry denies the claim that the proposal closes off the judiciary or eliminates open recruitment procedures. teraz.sk ↗
Further developments will depend on proceedings before the Supreme Administrative Court of the Slovak Republic, the results of investigations following the criminal report, and how the government and parliament address the proposed legislative changes.
