On Wednesday, the Senate of the Supreme Court (NS) of the Slovak Republic rejected the appeal of accused entrepreneur Jozef Majský, who was convicted of embezzling the non-banking firms Horizont Slovakia and BMG Invest. The 2015 decision of the Specialized Criminal Court in Pezinok, which sentenced him to nine years in prison, was thus upheld.
The police arrested Jozef Majský at the Slovak-Austrian border in autumn 2002. Since then, he has managed to avoid standing trial several times due to health problems.
