Bödör before court: he allegedly was not in the forest for six years since losing his firearms licence
Norbert Bödör, one of the main defendants in the Purgatory case, claims that since his firearms licence was revoked, he has not been hunting or at a shooting range. Denník N approached him directly outside the Specialised Criminal Court building in Banská Bystrica, where he has been regularly attending hearings in recent weeks.
Bödör is known to the public as a passionate marksman and hunter. His statements during the ongoing court proceedings are, however, rather reserved according to Denník N.
The Ján Kuciak Investigative Centre has pointed out that Bödör is a member of the hunting guard in a territory associated with Róbert Ďuric — an agronomist who built the Fafokan estate and is also connected to the Rural House Malanta. This is a further one of several links between the two men.
The Purgatory case concerns the suspicion that Bödör, together with the current deputy speaker of parliament and former police president Tibor Gašpar (Smer), established a criminal group within the force. This group was allegedly supposed to misuse the police for the political goals of the Smer party. For Bödör, this is the third indictment in a row.
