A lone wolf gunman accused of attempting to assassinate Slovakia's Prime Minister will continue to be held in custody, as ruled by a Slovakian court. The decision was made due to concerns that the 71-year-old suspect could potentially escape and pose a threat by committing further crimes if released.
The suspect still has the option to appeal this decision to the country's Supreme Court, providing a legal avenue for further review of his detention status.
Meanwhile, in a show of solidarity and support for Prime Minister Robert Fico, hundreds of individuals gathered outside the hospital where he is currently receiving treatment. Fico, who is reported to be conscious and able to communicate, remains in a very serious condition as he continues to recover.
Deputy Prime Minister of Slovakia has indicated that medical professionals will closely monitor Fico's progress in the coming days to assess his recovery and overall health status.
The attempted assassination has sparked widespread concern and attention in Slovakia, with citizens and officials alike closely following developments in the case and expressing their support for the Prime Minister's well-being.
