Slovak and German Prosecutors General met over Vietnamese citizen

Prosecutor General Jaromír Čižnár spoke again on Friday with the German Federal Public Prosecutor General Peter Frank about the issue of the abduction of a Vietnamese citizen. As the spokeswoman for the Slovak Prosecutor General's Office, Andrea Predajňová, informed, the meeting took place at Eurojust in The Hague. "Further information will be provided by the Prosecutor General's Office in the coming days," she said. It was reported by the media that German investigators dealing with the kidnapping case of a Vietnamese businessman had raised serious suspicions against Slovakia, claiming that the victim of the abduction returned to his home country with the assistance of the Slovak Government, which provided an aircraft for the purpose. In this regard, Interior Minister Denisa Saková (Smer-SD) has released from the duty to observe confidentiality all relevant individuals in the case of the kidnapping, whose tally currently stands at 44. Meanwhile, former interior minister Robert Kaliňák (Smer-SD) said that the partial results of the investigation into the kidnapping have shown that Slovakia might have been unintentionally involved in the whole incident. Kaliňák considers the allegations that he directly issued instructions concerning the alleged kidnapping of the Vietnamese national by a Slovak government aircraft to be "absurd".
