Slovak police charge 71-year-old poet with attempted assassination of Prime Minister Robert Fico – POLITICO

Slovak police on Thursday charged Juraj Cintula, a 71-year-old former security guard, with attempted murder in the assassination of Prime Minister Robert Fico.

The suspect is accused of attacking Fico in Handlová, a town in central Slovakia, where the Slovak government held a meeting on Wednesday. Fico’s condition is “stable, but very serious” after the assassination attempt, according to the director of the Banská Bystrica hospital where the Prime Minister is being treated.

If convicted, Cintula faces up to 25 years in prison or life imprisonment, local media reported.
