The senior Mr Kovac was a political opponent of Mr Meciar's.
而老科瓦克則是米契爾的政治對手。
But before charges could be brought, Mr Meciar passed an amnesty law that buried the case.
但就在警方和法官提起公訟前，米契爾卻通過了一部特赦法案，使得這件綁架案不了了之。
Mr Meciar has spent the past few years in quiet retirement at his mansion, christened “Elektra”.
米契爾先生在過去的幾年里一直在他的宅邸中享受他平靜的退休時光。
But on March 2nd a docudrama about the case, “Unos” ( “Kidnapping” ) , opened in Slovakia, putting the old case back in the headlines.
但是在3月2日一部關于綁架案的記錄劇情片《Unos》（《綁架》）在斯洛伐克上映了，再次將這件舊案推上了頭條。
Mr Meciar felt obliged to appear on television to defend himself.
米契爾先生不得不在電視上為自己辯護。
Polls showed that 63% of Slovaks favoured revoking the amnesty law, and on March 13th Robert Fico, the current prime minister, announced that he would do so.
民意調查顯示由63%的斯洛伐克公民支持撤銷特赦法案，接著在3月13日現任總理羅伯特-菲喬宣布他將撤銷特赦法案。
Mr Fico faces declining approval, especially among young voters.
菲喬總理現在正面臨著支持率，尤其是青年人的支持率的下降。
He may be defending himself against any appearance of complicity; his first government, in 2006, included Mr Meciar's party.
他也許會因為受到任何共犯的指控而為自己辯護，比如他在2006年執掌的政府，其中就包括米契爾的政黨。
But he is also being pushed by popular anger at corruption, as the popularity of “Unos” shows.
但同時他也因為電影中所傳達的腐敗問題受到了指責。
“Politicians should know that crime and wrongdoing can be punished, even after such a long time,” says Milan Stranava, the film's producer.
該片制片人Milan Stranava說：“政客們應該知道，不管那些犯罪行為過去了多久，總有曝光的時候。”
Any punishment will come too late for the elder Mr Kovac.
但是無論宣判了什么樣的刑罰，科瓦克來說都已經太遲了。
He died in October 2016.
他已于2016年10月去世。
