The prosecutor identified with the decision of an investigator who halted an investigation concerning bribery on June 9, stating that there was no doubt that the offence of which Lipták was accused did not take place. The resolution came into force on June 16, the Special Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Jana Tökölyová told the TASR newswire.
Law enforcement bodies were investigating Lipták’s statements for the media in connection with the possible accepting of bribes in return for health care. Not one of his patients has notified the authorities of malpractice and not one person was found to have given a bribe.
