Special Prosecutor Dušan Kováčik has again refuted that he knows the Nitra-based businessman Norbert Bödör and Marian Kočner, the man facing charges in several cases including the murder of journalist.

"I have always followed the law in criminal matters," Kováčik told the parliamentary legal and constitutional affairs committee, as reported by the SITA newswire. "I have passed no information to anybody, and never have I done any favour to anyone."
Kočner's leaked Threema communication shows that Kočner and Bödör allegedly tried influencing criminal prosecutions and staff matters at the Special Prosecutor's Office through Kováčik.
