Prosecutor of the Special Prosecutor’s Office Ján Šanta has appealed the verdict issued in the forged promissory notes for the private broadcaster TV Markíza.

According to the ruling, Marian Kočner was sentenced to 19 years in prison and a financial sanction of €10,000. Another accused in the case, Pavol Rusko, was also sentenced to 19 years behind bars.
Šanta wants stricter punishments, though, the Denník N daily reported. He has asked to increase Kočner’s sentence to 20 years in prison and forfeit his property.
