Mikulec: Arrests of officers, judges 'completely unprecedented'

The Police Corps and public have been recently confronted with something that didn't take place in the country even after the fall of the communist regime in 1989, Interior Minister Mikulec said in an end-of-year interview for TASR regarding the high number of police officers, judges and prosecutors that have been remanded in custody, adding that custody and their future prospects have made many of them talk. "It's an unprecedented situation, but when it comes to cleansing processes, probably everything needs to be taken into account," the minister said. "All it took was to begin the process, and now there's been an avalanche of raids and charges that weren't invented, as they were properly based and approved by prosecutors and judges."
