The senate of the Specialised Criminal Court said that the communication from the Threema app found in a mobile phone of Marian Kočner was obtained in a legal way.
Its chair Ružena Sabová, however, has not said whether and when they will allow its reading aloud during the trial in the murder case related to Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová. However, if necessary, they will invite both witnesses or the charged to be heard again.
Kočner’s lawyer Marek Para repeatedly objected to the way the police got hold of the evidence.
“The court has no doubts about the legality of how the evidence was gained,” Sabová said about Threema, as quoted by the Sme daily.
