The investigator has concluded the investigation into the case of the murder of investigative journalist Ján Kuciak and his wife-to-be Martina Kušnírová.
Marek Para, the lawyer of Marian Kočner who stands accused of ordering the Kuciak's murder, informed the TASR newswire of the news. Kuciak family lawyer Daniel Lipšic confirmed it for the Sme daily.
The lawyers of the aggrieved now have time to become acquainted with the file. The lawyers of those charged with the murder will get their turn next week.
Both parties can make their proposals about completing the investigation. The investigator will assess whether it is necessary. Then the file will go to the investigator, who will decide on the indictment.
