It concerns the unauthorized exercise of the right to a refund by the excess deduction by KTAG for June 2013, November 2013 and April 2014 in the total amount of EUR 155,184.40. Kisku’s lawyer welcomes the indictment Andrej Kiska’s lawyer Peter Kubina welcomes the indictment in the former president’s tax case. He claims that after seven years of investigation and “police abuse by the mafia run by Smer-SD”, the case will fall into the hands of justice. The lawyer claims that the statements of the former head of the Criminal Office of Financial Administration (FS) Ľudovít Makó, the former director of the NAKA National Financial Police Unit Bernard Slobodník, the former head of the FS František Imrecze and others prove that the state apparatus with assistance the mobster has long and systematically tried to discredit the president by abusing the tax authorities, the financial administration and the police. ” According to him, she repeatedly changed the investigators only in order to investigate the case in the way they wanted, ie to the detriment of the ex-president, regardless of the legal limits. The investigation was also used to blackmail President Kisk in Mr. Fico’s efforts to become President of the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic. , “Kubina stated in a statement. He is convinced that justice will prevail and “as the real culprits of this dirty process, the representatives of the mafia state will be justly punished.” Kubina clarified that the tax office had questioned whether KTAG, which belonged to Kisk and his brother, could include the presidential campaign in the accounts and claim a VAT refund of 146,000 euros. Kiska had to invest 1.3 million euros in the campaign from his own savings, he paid it from his personal account and with his money through his own company. The lawyer reminded that the return was never paid and the ex-president and the company did not question the control of the tax office, despite a different opinion, because as president of the Slovak Republic he did not want to go to a dispute with the state. He faces 7 to 12 years in prison. He added that the aggravating circumstance of the ex-president was the fact that he should have been the organizer of the crime. The case is related to the accounting of costs associated with the promotion of Kisk before the presidential election. The ex-president has long denied the crime and saw the revenge of the former prime minister and chairman of the opposition Smer-SD, Robert Fico. Kiska also argued that he was not charged until a third investigator after the two had not seen the crime. Fico has responded in the past that the presumption of innocence applies and the courts have to decide. According to Fico, Kisko’s property should be confiscated. If equality prevails before the law, former President Andrej Kiska must be prosecuted by the fate of the convicted businessman Ladislav Bašternák, including the confiscation of property. The leader of the opposition Smer-SD, Robert Fico, stated this in response to the indictment being filed in the former president’s tax case. Fico also pointed out the possible political consequences. He asks how he will look back at the then presidential election if the ex-president is convicted. “At least it will again be something unseen in the world that the President of the Slovak Republic, who won in the second round, won unfairly,” Fico said.
