Former mafia boss Mikuláš Černák (58) and former bodybuilder Milan Reichel (59) they share a common past that was full of dramatic and unusual moments. This is also confirmed by Popradčan’s statements in the podcast, where he spoke about his now former friend.
A man who is still considered by many citizens to be the former boss of the Poprad underworld, once maintained friendly relations with a life-sentenced prisoner. Over the years, he has witnessed events that most people could hardly imagine, and he also speaks publicly about his opinion of the ex-mobster.
Reichel also recently watched a film about Černák. The first part Miki premiered in August 2024, and the second part Černák saw the light of day at the end of January 2025. “I couldn’t even watch the second part yesterday, because when I see it, I get hives,” stated regarding the central character, even if he did not mean the actor Milan Ondrík.
While watching the film directed by Jakub Kroner, he realized one thing. “It follows from his role that Černak was the one who thought a lot and who made strategic maneuvers,” he said at the beginning, but he does not agree with his portrayal in front of the cameras. He believes that maybe everything was different from what it seemed.
He indicated that he did not have to be directly at the head of the Banská Bystrica underworld. “I think that someone else was thinking there. It was Kaštan (Miloš Kaštan – Černak’s right-hand man, editor’s note) and a few other individuals. He was the bulldozer who rolled it, but as in a movie, a movie is a movie,” thinks the former owner of the Gerlach Hotel, which was once associated with mafia groups.
