The former and current heads of Slovakia’s spy agency<\/a> and five other police and intelligence officers have been accused of abuse of power and criminal conspiracy, the top police officer announced Thursday, in a scandal that a former leader called “a police coup” ahead of an upcoming early election.<\/p>\n

Stefan Hamran said the head of the National Security Authority and the former chief of the spy agency known as SIS also face abuse of power charges in a similar but a separate case.<\/p>\n

In the first case, Hamran said the seven conspired as a criminal group led by a businessman identified as Peter K to obstruct investigations in corruption cases that date to the era of former leftist Prime Minister Robert Fico before 2020.<\/p>\n

As a result of their actions, four investigators from the National Criminal Agency were detained and accused of manipulating testimonies until a court dismissed the allegation.<\/p>\n

In the second case, the two are accused of conspiring to get rid of officers in the security authority, which issues clearances allowing officials to access classified information.<\/p>\n

Slovakia is divided ahead of the early election<\/a>. Fico, who wants to return to power, has charged that such a move so close to the election is meant to harm his party and the opposition. His opponents say police should investigate the allegations.<\/p>\n

Fico called the development a “police coup,” demanded Hamran\u2019s dismissal and called for an extraordinary session of Parliament to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

President Zuzana Caputova is to meet with members of the current caretaker government on Friday to discuss the announcement.<\/p>\n

Fico’s leftist Smer-Social Democracy party lost the 2020 general election and was replaced by a coalition government whose parties campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket.<\/p>\n

Since the new government took power, a number of senior officials, police officers, judges, prosecutors, politicians and businesspeople have been charged with corruption and other crimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Let police do their job,” former Prime Minister Eduard Heger said.<\/p>\n

Slovakia faces an early election on Sept. 30 after Heger’s government lost a parliamentary no-confidence vote in December.<\/p>\n

Fico, who unlike the previous government opposes military help for Ukraine in its war with Russia, stands a chance to win the snap vote, recent polls suggest.<\/p>\n
