In an interview, Detective Peter Juhás reflects on why he was selected to lead the investigation into the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak and his fiancée, Martina Kušnírová, which took place on February 21, 2018. He describes the brutal nature of the crime and the political turmoil that ensued, notably the fallout that led to then-Prime Minister Robert Fico's resignation. Juhás highlights how the investigation was hampered by a press conference held by Fico, Interior Minister Robert Kaliňák, and Police President Tibor Gašpar, during which they presented a reward of one million euros for information related to the case, complicating the investigative process.

Juhás also recounts the challenges they faced from the public, where many citizens reported dreams or strange phone calls, but these leads ended up being distractions. To pursue the legitimate tips, the investigative team had to painstakingly verify the phone numbers involved through court orders. Ultimately, these efforts often led to dead ends, revealing the difficulty in discerning credible information amidst a flurry of false reports.

Furthermore, he reflects on the moment they accessed Marián Kočner's Threema messages, which revealed a connection to serious criminal undertones in the police force itself. By 2019, there were suspicions that Norbert Bödör was exercising control over the police, pointing to broader systemic issues where the police force appeared to function akin to a criminal organization. Juhás asserts that this was just the beginning of the scandal known as 'Očistec,' which was largely suppressed by police inspections during the reign of the Smer party, led by individuals entwined in the political and crime narratives of the time.
