🇸🇰 THREAD: Today is the fifth anniversary of the murder of Slovak journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kušnírová.

Tonight, an OCCRP documentary on the killing of the couple –– and the corruption surrounding it –– will be shown in Slovakia for the first time #allforjan👇 Image
2. Kuciak and Kušnírová were shot and killed in February 2018 by an assassin at home in the village of Vel’ka Mača.

Kuciak had been investigating Marian Kočner, a prominent businessman with deep ties to Slovakia’s police and judiciary. Image
3. KoÄŤner was acquitted of ordering the murder in September 2020 - but the case is being retried after a Supreme Court appeal ruling in June 2021.

Meanwhile, Kociak’s parents Jana and Jozef told the OCCRP and @investigace_cz they visit his grave each day. occrp.org/en/a-journalis…
