UPDATE: Robert Krajmer was released on Friday evening with no charges pressed against him. The police detained former National Criminal Agency (NAKA) anti-corruption unit head Robert Krajmer during a house raid on Thursday evening and escorted him out of his house in Trencin, western Slovakia, in handcuffs. The crackdown is linked to the Fatima restaurant case in Trencin. A police spokesperson declined to comment. An investigator has pressed charges of obstruction of justice and perjury against five individuals, including the former Deputy Justice Minister Monika Jankovska. She has faced public accusations that she championed the interests of the late Mafioso boss Peter Congrady and abetted the mobster in taking over the restaurant Fatima. Krajmer resigned from the helm of NAKA's anti-corruption unit in March 2018 after the murders of journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kusnirova. He faced criticism over media reports that pointed to his presence at the scene of the murder at the very beginning of the investigation. Krajmer claimed that he was stepping down due to inappropriate media pressure being exerted against his family.
