Ex-police officers accused of bullying Roma boys acquitted by the court again

Košice II District Court once again acquitted nine men and one woman who, as former police officers, allegedly bullied and mistreated Roma boys at a police station in Košice in 2009. "It hasn't been proven that the deed for which the accused are being prosecuted really happened," the president of the Senate said in the verdict. According to the indictment, the police officers brought six young Roma aged 10-16, who were suspected of robbing an elderly woman, to the station. There they attempted to intimidate the boys with police dogs. Subsequently, the minors were forced to slap each other and then kiss. The mistreatment continued in the building's basement, where the suspects were ordered to strip naked within ten seconds, while police officers recorded a video.
