Former mafia boss Mikuláš Černák (59) and former bodybuilder Milan Reichel (59) they have a common past, which was decidedly colorful. The public had no idea about many events until Popradčan gradually began to reveal them in the podcast, where he describes their joint conversations, but also his strong opinion about the ex-mafia.
Černak was unsuccessful in his request for parole from life imprisonment. The decision of the district court from September 24, 2025 confirmed his stay behind bars for the time being, but after the appeal of the defense, the whole matter is transferred to the regional court. The final verdict has not yet been handed down.
His former friend is convinced that after his release he would behave as bloodthirsty as in the past. “I’ll be honest. I don’t care, really. When someone asks what do you think… of course he’s going to speculate. He’s not going to change. He’s still going to be as vengeful as he was because it’s in his DNA.” he stated with great confidence.
According to him, a certain change would already occur. “He will be more subtle that when he has a crown, he will say: ‘Bring it to me, I’ll win with it somehow. But give me a dull knife to make it fun’.” believes Reichel. He supposes that instead of raw violence in the streets, he would use his experience to manage the dirty work from behind.
The former boss of the Banská Bystrica underworld is serving a life sentence for committing and participating in several murders. Life convicts can apply for parole after 25 years in prison. Last autumn, the court came to the conclusion that it is not possible to reasonably expect Černak to lead a normal life after parole. The chairman of the senate pointed out that Černak carried out the criminal activity in a serious, cruel and socially unacceptable manner.
