Slovakia Political Misery: Family Drama
斯洛伐克政壇疑云：家庭大戲
Who kidnapped the president's son?
是誰綁架了斯洛伐克總統(tǒng)的兒子？
In August 1995 Michal Kovac Jr, whose father was president of newly independent Slovakia, was stopped in his car by armed men who handcuffed him, forced him to drink two bottles of whisky and began driving him to an unknown destination.
1995年8月，此時斯洛伐克剛剛獨立，新上任總統(tǒng)的兒子小科瓦克在車上被一伙武裝人士銬起來，強行灌了兩瓶威士忌之后，被帶去了沒人知道的地方。
When he tried to jump out of the car, they beat him and shocked him with a stun gun.
當(dāng)小科瓦克試圖跳車逃走的時候，綁匪就開始毆打他，并且對他使用了電擊槍。
The 34-year-old Mr Kovac woke up in Austria, where police arrested him in connection with a German financial probe.
而34歲的科瓦克總統(tǒng)此時正在奧地利，當(dāng)他早上醒來的時候，警察正以涉嫌一樁德國金融調(diào)查案為由逮捕他。
They said they had been tipped off to his whereabouts by a Slovak informant.
警察透露他們是通過一位斯洛伐克線人知道了總統(tǒng)的位置。
An Austrian court soon released him because of the illegal manner of his detainment.
而奧地利法院很快就因為扣留不合法釋放了總統(tǒng)。
He was never charged.
而他此后再沒有遭到指控。
Slovak police and justice officials investigating the kidnapping were frustrated when a key witness went into hiding and his police contact was killed with a car-bomb.
當(dāng)一名關(guān)鍵證人銷聲匿跡，而他的警察聯(lián)絡(luò)人遭遇一場汽車爆炸喪生，斯洛伐克警方和調(diào)查綁架案的司法官員心灰意冷。
Still, they managed to prepare an indictment, which was later leaked.
然而，警方和司法官員仍設(shè)法準備對罪犯提起公訴，但是他們的計劃隨后被泄露了。
It pinned the crime on private thugs hired by the Slovak secret services (SIS) , whose head, Ivan Lexa, was the right-hand man of Vladimir Meciar, the prime minister at the time.
此后，這個案子被歸罪到為私人做事的暴徒身上，而這些暴徒是由伊萬-雷克沙所領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的斯洛伐克秘密情報局雇傭的，Ivan Lexa正是時任總理瓦德米爾-米契爾的左膀右臂。
