Thus, alongside the former head of the Slovak Intelligence Service, Peter Tóth, Kriak is another person suspected of monitoring journalists on behalf of the controversial entrepreneur Marián K, suspected of ordering the murder of Ján Kuciak.Kriak is a former member of the communist-era secret service (ŠtB) and the Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS). Kriak did not want to comment the situation for the moment. "Every time, when enough information is accumulated, the Prosecutor General's Office provides correct and exhaustive information. Let's leave the law enforcement agencies to do their jobs," said Kriak for the tvnoviny.sk portal.
