Court orders detention for suspect of assassination against Robert Ficos

The person charged with the assassination of Slovakia's prime minister, Robert Fico, was ordered to stand behind bars.

It becomes known that Slovakia's Special Criminal Court has ordered the detention of suspects after prosecutors said they were afraid he could escape or commit other crimes if released.

The suspect shot Ficon five times before he crashed into the ground and was arrested by police.

Although the prosecution said the suspect would not be publicly identified, media reports say he is a 71-year-old poet who does not belong to any political group, although the attack itself is said to have been politically motivated.

Meanwhile, the Slovak prime minister still remains in serious condition.

Police have also seized the computer and documents of the suspect, reports the police. Since she has remained largely silent in the case, it is still unknown how the suspect has managed to possess a firearm.

This, since Slovakia has strict rules for weapons and its owners must have a strong reason to own one.

As a result, it has one of the lowest weapons possession rates in Europe at a rate of 6.5 per 100.
