Slovak Defense Minister's Firm Tied to Arms Dealer Payments

Czech investigative outlet Seznam Zprávy reports that Kallan Consulting, owned by Slovak Defense Minister Roberta Kaliňák, received millions for consulting and lobbying for an arms company of Czech billionaire Michal Strnad, including while Kaliňák served as defense minister. The claim is based on obtained documents, but the full extent and legality of the payments remain unverified. This raises potential conflict-of-interest and corruption concerns in Slovak defense procurement.
