- The General Prosecutor did not comply with the proposal of the “Čuril family” and Prosecutor Šurek
- The decision concerns acts of alleged abuse of authority by a public official.
- The reason is the failure to find a violation of the law in the previous decisions of the preliminary proceedings.
The Prosecutor General of the Slovak Republic did not comply with the proposal of former National Criminal Agency (NAKA) police officers Pavel Ďurka, Ján Čurilla, Ľubomír Daňek and prosecutor Michal Šúrek to cancel the indictment. He stated that no violation of the law was found, which would justify the annulment of contested legal decisions in the preliminary proceedings. This follows from the information provided to TASR by Zuzana Drobová, spokesperson of the General Prosecutor’s Office (GP) of the Slovak Republic.
“On October 30, the Prosecutor General of the Slovak Republic (on whose behalf the Deputy Director of the Criminal Department of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Slovak Republic acted) did not comply with the proposal of the accused Lt. Col. Mgr. P. Ď., Col. Mgr. J. Č., Mgr. Ľ. D. and JUDr. M. Š., who demanded the annulment of the resolution of the investigator of the Office of the Inspection Service on the indictment of July 30 2024 and the subsequent resolution of the prosecutor of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Slovak Republic on the rejection of complaints dated May 13, 2025,” she said.
According to her, the examination of the matter did not reveal a violation of the law, which would justify the annulment of contested legal decisions in the preliminary proceedings. “At the current stage of the criminal proceedings, the established facts sufficiently justify the conclusion about the justification of the criminal prosecution of the accused for the crime of abuse of authority of a public official by complicity,” the spokeswoman added.
Michala Š. accused in the summer of 2024 an investigator of the Inspection Service Office of abuse of authority of a public official in the form of complicity in connection with the supervision of a criminal matter, which he supervised as a prosecutor of the former Special Prosecutor’s Office. They also accused three other persons in connection with their performance of duties within the now defunct National Criminal Agency.
