Justice Minister Maria Kolikova (For the People) appointed Jan Hrubala to the helm of the Specialised Criminal Court on Thursday. The New Specialised Criminal Court chair listed the need to improve communication with the media as well as between its Pezinok headquarters and Banska Bystrica branch among his priorities. Hrubala plans to meet with court judges and administrative personnel. The court is currently fully functional. The Specialised Criminal Court was established principally for cases of corruption and organised crime in 2003 (ed. note: back then under the name of Special Court, renamed in 2009).
