Michal Višváder

Michal Višváder is a key figure in the ongoing internal conflict within the Slovak police, having taken over leadership of the inspection team Oblúk in July 2021 after his predecessor, Diana Santusová, stepped down unexpectedly. His involvement in this contentious situation was highlighted during his recent testimony in court, where he detailed how he was thrust into the role of team leader without prior intent, following a series of events linked to investigations into police corruption. The Oblúk team was originally tasked with probing allegations of manipulation in serious corruption cases involving members of the National Criminal Agency (NAKA), but it became embroiled in a broader struggle within the police force, reflecting a significant period of turmoil and controversy in Slovak law enforcement.
