Prosecutor Bystrík Palovič  dealt with the leak of information on payments from the company of Ladislav Bašternák to the account of the Interior Minister Robert Kaliňák, as well as his successor, Vladimír Pravda who both own flats in  a building built by Bašternák. They lead the prosecution against Filip Rybanič, an employee of the Tatrabanka bank and simultaneously assistant of the opposition Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party’s MP Jozef Rajtár, who brought to public notice account transfers made by Kaliňák and Bašternák. Moreover, the building is situated close to where the businessman lives, opposition OĽaNO-NOVA MP Daniel Lipšic who is a legal representative of Rybanič, told the Sme daily.
