The long-awaited main hearing in the Očistec case began at the Specialized Criminal Court in Banská Bystrica on Monday, May 11. All ten defendants appeared before the judge, among them former Police Force president Tibor Gašpar, businessman Norbert Bödör, and former Prosecutor General Dušan Kováčik. The indictment accuses them of establishing and supporting a criminal group, bribery, accepting bribes, and abuse of the authority of a public official. STVR (Spravy) ↗ pravda.sk ↗
However, the proceedings stopped shortly after they began. The presiding judge, Peter Pulman, decided to halt the hearing and moved all the May dates to June 1. The reason is the joining of a further indictment related to former police officer Roman Stahľ, who is charged in the Váhostav case. Dušan Kováčik's defense attorneys had proposed joining this indictment to the Očistec case. Refresher.sk ↗ SITA ↗
The court also ruled that journalists may no longer write live online coverage of the Očistec case. A total of 37 hearings are planned. The indictment has been before the courts since December 2021, when it was filed by a prosecutor from the former Office of the Special Prosecutor. The proceedings concern a total of twenty offenses, and the defendants have long denied guilt, claiming the case is politically motivated. aktuality.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
