“The prosecutor of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Slovak Republic, using legal authority, entered 24 proceedings conducted at the Administrative Courts in Bratislava and Banská Bystrica in matters of administrative lawsuits filed against personnel orders issued against police officers without the consent of the Office for the Protection of Whistleblowers. At the same time, the prosecutor submitted to the court opinions on administrative lawsuits with a proposal to cancel personnel orders due to their illegality.” written by Žilinka.
Minister of the Interior Matúš Šutaj Eštok (Voice-SD) reacted to the decision before Wednesday’s government meeting. He sees it as confirmation that Žilinka is on the side of a group of policemen. “It’s surprising to me, but we’ll deal with it,” said Šutaj Eštok.
Minister of the Interior after taking office temporarily deprived several policemen of the state service, including the so-called Čurrils. He justified this by suspecting the commission of a crime. Since the police officers had the status of a protected whistleblower, according to the ÚOO, the minister should have turned to him first.
