BANSKA BYSTRICA, Slovakia (Reuters) -The man who shot and seriously wounded Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico last year railed against Fico as he was led in shackles into court on Tuesday, at the start of a trial that could see him jailed for life.
Juraj Cintula, 72, acknowledges shooting the prime minister in May last year but denies intending to kill him. Prosecutors call it an act of terrorism.
