Odsúdený podnikateľ Marian Kočner (58) má toho na krku čoraz viac. Už dnes sa začalo hlavné pojednávanie vo veci takzvaných motákov, ktoré mal Kočner z väzby posielať bývalému príslušníkovi SIS Petrovi Tóthovi. Ten ich ale napokon odovzdal polícii a Kočnerovi hrozí ďalší odsudzujúci rozsudok.

The Supreme Court concluded the adjourned appellate session, which took place behind closed doors due to the worsening pandemic in Slovakia, after five hours on January 12. It confirmed the verdict delivered by the Specialised Criminal Court in February 2020.
Both Rusko and Kočner were sentenced to 19 years in prison for forging promissory notes, which Kočner used to obtain €69 million from the current owner of private broadcaster TV Markíza in 2016. Kočner was also ordered to pay a fine of €10,000.
