BRATISLAVA - Slovak police have charged a man with ordering the murder of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee, prosecutors said on Thursday, a case that triggered mass protests and the resignation of a prime minister.
Newspapers Hospodarske Noviny and Dennik N, without citing sources, identified the man as politically connected businessman Marian Kocner, who had been a subject of Kuciak’s reporting. A lawyer for Kocner, who is in custody on unrelated charges of forgery, did not reply to calls or text messages seeking comment.
“The motive for the murder was Kuciak’s work as a journalist. The investigator on objective evidence that can’t be specified at the moment,” one said.
