The new Slovakian government under left-wing nationalist Prime Minister Robert Fico wants to abolish the country’s special public prosecutor’s office (USP). According to the TASR agency, the cabinet passed a corresponding bill in Bratislava on Wednesday. The special public prosecutor’s office deals with high-level corruption cases, among other things, and in the past also concluded the investigation into the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and his girlfriend.
