The former owner of private TV Markíza Pavol Rusko and businessman Marian Kočner both faced each other in court, on December 16, for the first time since a trial in the case of the promissory notes began.

Rusko left the court an hour after his arrival for spinal pain while the senate approved, later on, the reading of an agreement of 20 pages on forming a joint international investigation team to look into the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée Martina Kušnírová. Kočner is charged with the ordering of the murder.
