The trial concerning allegedly forged promissory notes worth nearly €70 million continued on October 17.
While one of the accused, Marian Kočner, was present at the previous proceedings held in September, this time he was absent, the Sme daily reported.

One of the witnesses on the stand was the ex-wife of Pavol Rusko, another defendant in the case.
Viera Rusková confirmed that she knew about the promissory notes, which she considered “extortion money” demanded by Kočner. She claims she recommended that Rusko, her ex-husband, sign the promissory notes to be done with the affair.
