Slovakia's PM ready to resign amid journalist murder scandal

Slovakia’s prime minister has offered to resign, under pressure from the opposition for his handling of a scandal over the killing of a journalist investigating political corruption.

Robert Fico has been struggling since February with the scandal over the murder of Ján Kuciak, 27, and his fiancee, Martina Kušnírová.

Police have said the double murder was “most likely” related to Kuciak’s investigation of ties between Slovakia’s top politicians and Italy’s ’Ndrangheta mafia.

The killing has prompted large protests against Fico’s government, with tens of thousands of Slovaks turning out for rallies.
