Police Corps President Peter Kovařík and Prosecutor-General Maroš Žilinka have ordered an inspection of the National Crime Agency's (NAKA) procedure in relation to the firearms that remained in the possession of the late key witness Frantisek Böhm. "I won't comment further until the investigation is completed," said Kovařík. Žilinka considers it unacceptable for persons accused of serious organised crime to hold firearms.
Frantisek Böhm was reportedly charged of corruption in the autumn and started cooperating with investigators, thus becoming a key witness in several cases currently being investigated by the police. He allegedly shot himself dead on Friday (February 12) night in the village of Plavecký Štvrtok, Bratislava region. Bohm also reportedly shot and wounded his wife.
Böhm was a former member of the Slovak Intelligence Service. He allegedly co-operated with the police in investigating the Judas and Texan corruption cases. He also reportedly testified about the alleged bribery of former Police Corps president Milan Lučanský, who died on December 30, 2020 after an attempted suicide in custody.
