Reuters

   PRAGUE - A Slovak court handed a 15-year prison sentence to a man
   charged with facilitating the murder of investigative journalist Jan
   Kuciak in 2018 in a plea deal on Monday, a spokeswoman said.

   The killing of Kuciak and his fiancee, both 27, at their home outside
   Bratislava in February 2018 sparked mass protests against corruption in
   the central European nation, shaking the government. The case will play
   a role in a parliamentary election due in February.
