Former director of the Slovak Intelligence Service (SIS) Vladimír Pčolinský no longer faces charges of accepting a bribe or bribery. The General Prosecutor's Office has dropped the charges. Pčolinský is due to be released shortly, according to his lawyer Ondrej Urban. The former director has been in custody since March, accused along with former SIS deputy Boris Beňa of accepting a bribe from businessman and bankruptcy lawyer Zoroslav Kollár, in the amount of €40,000. Kollár was also freed from charges.
