BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 4. General Prosecutor of
Slovakia Maroš Žilinka has called the assassination attempt on
Prime Minister Robert Fico an act of terrorism, Trend reports.
"The legal categorization of the act being prosecuted in the
criminal case concerning the attempted assassination of the Prime
Minister of the Slovak Republic has been reevaluated. After
carefully examining the evidence, it has been determined that the
act in question will now be classified as an extremely grave crime
- a terrorist act," he said.
To note, on May 15, Slovakia's Prime Minister narrowly escaped
death by the skin of their teeth in an assassination attempt.
Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old writer, fired several shots at
Robert Fico, causing severe injuries, after he exited the building
where a Cabinet meeting was held. The injured prime minister was
swiftly taken to the hospital, while the wrongdoer was
apprehended.
The perpetrator is facing attempted murder charges, and the
inquiry will be handled discreetly.
