A court in central Slovakia’s Banská Bystrica will today pass sentence on Mikuláš Černák, Slovakia’s most notorious suspected underworld figure, in the alleged murder of Polish businessman Gregory Szymanek. Cernák was already sentenced to 15 years for the crime in 1999, but the case was returned by the Supreme Court to be retried for lack of evidence.
