“The General Prosecutor’s Office looked into the case and ordered a regional prosecutor in Bratislava to appeal the verdict,” said Andrea Predajňová, spokesperson for the General Prosecutor’s Office, as quoted by the TASR newswire, adding that they will ask for stricter punishment.

However, shortly after Hossu's sentencing, the prosecutor had said that the prosecutor’s office would be satisfied with the punishment and would not appeal.
