📜 Annulled

The Administrative Court in Bratislava has annulled the order that dismissed Ján Čurilla, a former National Criminal Agency investigator, from his post. Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok issued the dismissal; the court decided it did not stand. Inside parliament, the debate over the state budget continues while billions in spending await a final vote. Nearby, the 'Očistec' corruption trial resumed its long-running schedule, though a late start delayed the prosecutor's move to the witness stand. Opposition parties are beginning to organize for the next contest, with Progressive Slovakia and the Democrats finalizing their candidate lists. Elsewhere, police arrested a couple for allegedly offering their daughter for sexual exploitation online for nearly a year, and a media mogul whose ambitions once centered on building a regional empire is now facing the seizure of millions in assets.
