A major investigation has revealed that politician Marian Kotleba allegedly transferred three million euros of state funds to other accounts, with his family home, extensive land, and a seventh apartment being discovered. Separately, the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatization (MIRRI) is under scrutiny for allocating 800,000 euros to a Center for Artificial Intelligence that has since become silent and produced no visible results.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok is facing growing criticism and a petition for his removal over alleged ties to Russia and actions deemed against the country's interests. Prime Minister Robert Fico's defense of Šutaj Eštok has been unsuccessful, with new allegations surfacing that cameras were used for communication with Russia.
The nation is also grappling with an extreme drought, leading to urgent warnings from experts about water scarcity. In other domestic news, Prosecutor General Maroš Žilinka presented statistics showing a sharp decline in juvenile crime, though he questioned whether this trend is truly positive. A photograph has also surfaced showing oligarch Miroslav Výboh, a long-time associate of the Prime Minister, present at an official visit by a Sheikh, a detail not publicly disclosed by the government.
