Prosecutor-General Ciznar suspends Trnka as prosecutor

Prosecutor-General Jaromir Ciznar has suspended from duty prosecutor Dobroslav Trnka, who has also seen disciplinary proceedings launched against him, news website noviny.sk reported on Thursday. Two weeks ago Ciznar claimed that it wasn't possible to suspend Trnka, as he hadn't been charged with any crime. He also said that it wasn't possible to initiate any disciplinary motion due the fact that a shady conversation between Trnka and businessman Marian K., now charged with ordering the murder of journalist Jan Kuciak, took place too long ago and the matter has fallen under the statute of limitations since then.
