Gunman who shot Slovak PM in court ahead of 21-year sentencing | AFP

The man who admitted to shooting Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico last year appears in court before being given a 21-year prison sentence. Juraj Cintula, a 72-year-old poet, shot the nationalist and Kremlin-friendly Fico four times at close range on May 15, 2024, leaving him seriously wounded. The attack occurred after a government meeting in the central Slovak mining town of Handlova as Fico walked into the street to greet fans.
