The Slovak police detained several people from the judiciary

According to the server, the biggest catch within the Vichřice event is Zoroslav Kollár, a “lawyer known from mafia lists”, whose assets are estimated at tens of millions of crowns. Other detainees are from the judicial environment, in addition to Urbancová, for example, Jozef Kolcun or Katarína Bartalská. According to aktuality.sk, the detainees were gradually transported to the service station of the elite unit of the Slovak police NAKA in Nitra.

Urbancová was detained and charged in March, when she was among 13 judges arrested at the time in a bribery case, but in the end she did not end up in custody, which also applies to some other detained current or former judges. Only two judges now detained were not detained in March.

Wednesday’s event was confirmed by the police presidium. “The National Criminal Agency is carrying out an operation under the code name Vichřice. We have detained several people. Due to the ongoing investigation, we cannot provide further information,” said Michal Slivka, a spokesman for the presidium.

Judge Kolcun should be charged with accepting a bribe of 10,000 and 30,000 euros (274,000 and 821,500 crowns), confirmed lawyer Sergei Romza. Lawyer Rastislav Palovič said Judge Richard Molnár had been accused of corruption crimes.

According to the Slovak server, former judge David Lintner should also be in the hands of the police. He was also detained in March, but was not prosecuted. Kollára considers aktuality.sk to be today’s biggest “catch”. “To date, my client has received a resolution on the charges against which he has lodged a complaint. He has spoken, testified. At the moment, I cannot provide any further information,” said Kollár’s lawyer, Ingrid Zlochová.

According to aktuality.sk, Kollár appears quite often in the mobile application of Threem Marian Kočner, in communication with people from the judiciary. In September, the court illegally acquitted the controversial businessman Kočner and his acquaintance Alena Zsuzsová of the charges in the case of the previous year’s murder of journalist Ján Kuciak.

In March, a specialized criminal court sent a former Deputy Minister of Justice and Judge Monika Jankovská, who, according to a previously leaked communication from Kočner’s mobile phone, helped the businessman in a commercial lawsuit against Markíza TV to pay for one of the bills. Kočner, together with the former Minister of the Economy and former head of the Marquis Pavol Rusko, was illegally sentenced to a long prison term. Judge Richard Molnár of the Bratislava Regional Court also ended up in custody in March.
