In a significant anti-corruption operation named 'Kajúcnik', the Slovak police inspection detained several former officers of the National Criminal Agency (NAKA), including renowned figures such as Ján Čurilla and Pavol Ďurka. The operation also led to the arrest of Michal Šúrek, a prosecutor at the General Prosecutor's Office. This detention occurred under dramatic circumstances, as described by the lawyer Peter Kubina, indicating that armed police units were involved in the arrests at various locations, including near a kindergarten where Ďurka was dropping off his daughter.

The individuals arrested, including Čurilla, Ďurka, and Branislav Dunčko, are facing charges related to abuse of power, although previous legal proceedings saw an indictment dismissed due to serious procedural errors. Furthermore, there are additional charges related to technical records management, indicating a broader investigation into misconduct within Slovak law enforcement. Notably, the prosecutor Šúrek has also been implicated in these dubious practices along with other politicians, highlighting the potential depths of corruption involving high-level officials.

The situation escalated when Prime Minister Robert Fico announced plans to file a criminal complaint against prosecutor Šúrek. This move underscores the political ramifications of the arrests and the ongoing struggle against corruption in Slovakia. As the investigations proceed, there are expectations of increased scrutiny and perhaps more arrests as the authorities push for accountability from those implicated within the former anti-corruption framework.
