A court in Pezinok has sentenced a mother to 19 years in prison for drowning her two young daughters and subsequently setting her apartment on fire. The verdict in this tragic case, which occurred in Ružinov, found the deaf mother guilty of the murders.
In other significant domestic news, police officers from eastern Slovakia are facing accusations of sexual harassment after allegedly offering a girl a ride from a disco, with the girl recording the journey and escaping by jumping from the car. Further, Andrej Danko, Chairman of the Slovak National Party and Deputy Speaker of the National Council, revealed that his party paid Mimi Šramová, a digital creator, even as she publicly criticizes the paid disinformation scene.
Meanwhile, the 'Očistec' corruption trial saw a development where the defendants achieved a change in prosecutor, after not getting the desired outcome from Prosecutor General Šanta. The court also published its reasoning in the case of 'Countess' Rošková, associated with the Smer party, who defrauded the EU of over 150,000 euros. The Slovak Parliament continues its extended deliberations on the state's future financial management, with coalition partners expected to vote in favor of the budget despite earlier clashes over their promises.
