Slovak investigative reporter, girlfriend found shot dead
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — A Slovak investigative reporter and his girlfriend were shot dead in their home in an attack likely linked to his reporting on tax evasion, Slovakia’s top police official said Monday.
The bodies of 27-year-old Jan Kuciak and his partner were found on Sunday evening in their house in the town of Velka Maca, east of the capital, Bratislava, national police force president Tibor Gaspar said.
Police went to the house at the request of a worried family member.
Gaspar said the slayings “likely have something to do with his investigative activities.” He declined to elaborate.
