Dušan Kováčik pôsobil ako špeciálny prokurátor od roku 2004, na túto pozíciu bol zvolený až trikrát a skončil až po obvinení z korupcie. Najvyšší súd SR ho právoplatne uznal za vinného a odsúdil na osem rokov odňatia slobody, dnes je však na základe intervencie od ministra spravodlivosti z cely von. V utorok rozhodol sudca Truban, že Kováčik je v ďalších dvoch kauzách vinný. Čo si máme z týchto protichodných rozhodnutí a stanovísk zobrať? Čo to znamená pre právny štát na Slovensku? Aj o tom sa v podcaste rozprávala Veronika Jursová Prachárová so šéfkou portálu Demagóg.sk Veronikou Frankovskou a s novinárom Investigatívneho centra Jána Kuciaka Tomášom Madleňákom. Frankovská v úvode zdôraznila, že mnoho dezinformácií, ktoré sa šíria na sociálnych sieťach, šíria aj politickí predstavitelia, pričom hoaxy o Kováčikovi sú súčasťou rozšíreného dezinformačného naratívu, ktorý oslabuje dôveru v justíciu a vyšetrovanie korupčných káuz.Viacero príspevkov na sociálnych sieťach napríklad spochybňuje právoplatný rozsudok nad bývalým špeciálnym prokurátorom. Frankovská vysvetľuje, prečo takéto príspevky facheckeri označili ako nepravdivé: „Najvyšší súd sa priamo zaoberal argumentom, že odsúdenie Dušana Kováčika stálo len na výpovediach tzv. kajúcnikov, tieto výpovede boli podporené a doplnené ďalšími súvisiacimi dôkazmi, ako sú výpovede Kováčikových bývalých kolegov, znalecké dokazovanie, či listinné dôkazy.“Investigatívny novinár Madleňák uviedol, že rozhodnutie sudcu Trubana z utorka (3. 9. 2024) považuje za dobrú správu. To, že v prvej kauze na dovolanie ministra spravodlivosti Borisa Suska došlo k prerušeniu výkonu trestu do času, kedy sa o dovolaní rozhodne na Najvyššom súde, ho zaskočilo. Navyše vyzdvihol, že minister Susko sa s odôvodnením nepostavil pred novinárov, ale nahral video. V ňom naznačuje, že celý Kováčikov prípad stojí na výpovediach kajúcnikov, čo podľa Madleňáka nie je pravda.Podcast bol vyrobený včera 3. septembra. Nahrávala Veronika Jursová Prachárová.
Muchas veces la situación de abuso y violencia sexual se viven en la oscuridad, en el secreto, en la represión. Otras veces la luz se ve años después, cuando la víctima se anima a hablar, a poner en palabras lo que vivió. Por estos días en nuestro país está surgiendo Ikove, un nuevo colectivo de víctimas, sobrevivientes de violencia sexual y aliadas sensibles a la temática. Su interés fundamental es valorizar los testimonios y necesidades de estas personas. Se propone trabajar en tres ejes: prevención, reparación y justicia de la violencia sexual. En nuestro país, los delitos sexuales hacia niños, niñas y adolescentes prescriben al igual que lo hacen otros delitos. Cambiar eso será el foco este viernes de una actividad en el Parlamento por el Día de Solidaridad con Víctimas y Sobrevivientes de Violencia Sexual. Conversamos En Perspectiva al respecto con dos de sus integrantes, ambas abogadas: Victoria Brückner, que además es maestranda en derechos de infancia y políticas públicas y diplomada en políticas públicas en crimen e inseguridad; y Camila Franquez, que está especializada en Derechos Humanos y Perspectiva de Género.

To cultivate technology growth in the Midwest, Ikove Capital developed the Innovation Nursery. Nurturing the Startup Ikove means "growth" in the Brazilian indigenous language Tupi-Guarani. This aptly describes the focus of Ikove Capital. It is a firm dedicated to venture development. Through a hands-on approach Ikove Capital nurtures startups in its Innovation Nursery. The trend for venture capitalists is toward late stage investing. Ikove Capital co- founder Flavio Lobato saw the opportunity. There is a huge investment in research that flows into the Central Ohio region to the tune of $70 billion. Yet, only one percent of resulting research attains commercialization.
