The team investigating the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová has been divided into two parts. One group will deal solely with the murder, while the other will investigate the economic and corruption crimes Kuciak wrote about.
“Investigators will document and investigate those who commissioned the murder and the murderers themselves,” said Police Corps President Milan Lučanský, as quoted by the TASR newswire, when commenting on the former.
