On Tuesday, April 12, a prosecutor of the Presov Regional Prosecutor's Office pressed charges in the tax case concerning ex-president Andrej Kiska (in office: 2014-18). He is charged with long-term tax fraud. The case revolves around fraudulent claims for tax refunds worth a total of €155,184 on behalf of a company called KTAG in June 2013, November 2013 and April 2014. It concerns efforts to put costs related to Kiska's 2014 presidential campaign on company KTAG's books. The ex-president denies any guilt. Ex-president Kiska's defence attorney Peter Kubina has welcomed the fact that charges of tax fraud have been pressed against his client, adding that after seven years of investigation and "abuse of the police by the mafia controlled by Smer-SD" the case will finally end up in the hands of justice.
