The co-owner of the Penta financial group Jaroslav Hascak was released from custody by a decision of the Supreme Court on Thursday. The Supreme Court overruled the December decision by the Specialised Criminal Court. "At its closed-door session, Senate 4T of the Supreme Court, based on complaints by defendants Jaroslav H. and Dana A. chose to annul the decision by the Specialised Criminal Court, dated from December 4, 2020, and released both defendants from custody. The Senate came to the conclusion that there is no reason for custody," stated the spokesperson. The Supreme Court's 4T Senate consists of judges Pavol Farkas, Alena Siskova and Martina Zelenakova. Hascak faces charges of corruption and money laundering.
