Protesters mark a year since Slovak journalist's murder Protesters attending a rally to mark one year since journalist Jan Kuciak was murdered say they are "disgusted" and that the investigation into the killing shows "how political leaders are connected to organised crime". Kuciak and his girlfriend were gunned down in February 2018 as he was about to publish a report on alleged ties between Slovak politicians and the Italian mafia and associated irregularities in EU farm subsidy payments.
