Complete wiretaps from the hunting lodge, where Fico’s group met, appeared on the Internet

“For the wise, the recordings are neither classified nor secret, and they are not illegal at all. Some people just don’t like their public presentation,” stated a group of three women performing under the name Pravda & Fikcia on Facebook.

“They are legally available to about 30 people outside of law enforcement agencies, who are not restricted by anything in their distribution. We assume that they were provided to us by one of them. Thank you,” said the relatives of the suspended policemen.

The recordings from the hidden camera show a meeting between Fico, Robert Kaliňák (the current Minister of Defense for the Direction party), lawyer and current adviser to the Prime Minister Marek Paru, the current head of the Slovak Information Service, Pavel Gašpar, and the late businessman Miroslav Bödör, who owned the hunting lodge.

A total of 36 recordings from the hunting lodge have now appeared on the YouTube channel “Chata v Čifáry”. Prime Minister Fico has not commented on the content of the recordings for a long time and repeats that “there is nothing on the recordings”. Clips from some videos are now also appearing on social networks.

When part of the recordings became public in October 2021, Fico called it an “act of state terrorism”.

Denník N noted that the recordings revealed that Fico was focused in 2021 on helping Bödör’s son Norbert and his relative, the former police chief Tibor Gašpar, to get free from custody. Tibor Gašpar is currently the Deputy Speaker of the Slovak Parliament for Smér.
