The main hearing in the case of ordering the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and the preparation of murders of prosecutors Maroš Žilinka, Daniel Lipšic, and Peter Šufliarsky continues on Monday at the Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok. The key witness in the trial is the convicted Zoltán Andruskó, who arrived in the courtroom under escort, hooded and handcuffed. Andruskó is serving a fifteen-year unconditional prison sentence for facilitating the murders. Refresher.sk ↗ SITA ↗
According to Andruskó's testimony, former police president Tibor Gašpar threatened him that he would end up like the murdered businessman Basternák. Andruskó also spoke about the fear and threats that affected him. Businessman Marian Kočner and his associate Alena Zsuzsová face charges in the case. Andruskó considers himself the person who played a decisive role in facilitating the murders. His testimony is significant for clarifying the circumstances of the tragic events that occurred in 2018, when the journalist's fiancée, Martina Kušnírová, was also murdered. The trial is being held for the third time, and the continuing main hearing has required increased security measures for transporting the witness. aktuality.sk ↗ pravda.sk ↗
