On Monday, a prosecutor of the Prosecutor-General's Office submitted an indictment against Juraj Cintula to the Specialised Criminal Court over his shooting of Prime Minister Robert Fico on May 15 of last year, charging him with an aggravated terrorist attack, TASR has learnt from Prosecutor-General's Office spokesperson Zuzana Drobova.
If found guilty, Juraj Cintula might face a life sentence.
The defendant caused heavy gunshot injuries to the prime minister during the government's away-from-home session in Handlová (Trenčín region) last May. He initially faced charges of a premeditated murder attempt, but the deed was reclassified in July 2024 as an aggravated terrorist attack.
