Slovak police have completed their investigation into the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Robert Fico, recommending charges of a 'terror attack' against a suspect identified as J.C. Prosecutor-General Maroš Žilinka announced that prosecutors will evaluate the gathered evidence to decide on proceeding to trial. J.C. has remained in custody since the attack on May 15, 2022, and now faces upgraded charges. The politically charged context includes speculations about possible motives and the involvement of others, amidst widespread protests against Fico's governance.
Prosecutor-General Maroš Žilinka stated that prosecutors would now review the evidence to determine whether the accused, identified only as J.C., will stand trial.
Government officials previously suggested the attack may have been politically motivated and committed by a perpetrator acting alone, but also hinted at the potential involvement of a third party.
