Pavol Polka
Pavol Polka is a former judge from Slovakia who was sentenced for corruption, specifically for accepting bribes amounting to over 100,000 euros between 2014 and 2018. In March 2021, he received a three-year suspended sentence and a monetary fine of 150,000 euros after admitting his guilt. However, he later claimed that his confession was coerced and sought a reopening of his case, arguing that new evidence had emerged regarding unlawful procedures by prosecutorial authorities. His recent legal proceedings have drawn attention as he continues to maintain his innocence and has raised allegations of mistreatment during his detention.
