Belgian law firm representing in court the wife of Jozef Chovanec, who died after the Charleroi airport police's action in February 2018, will appeal against the verdict issued by the Belgian court on Wednesday and is ready to deliver the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg if necessary.
The Belgian court issued on Wednesday a verdict that no one is criminally responsible for the death of Slovak citizen Jozef Chovanec, stating that it was a regrettable coincidence of tragic circumstances.
Lawyer Ann Van De Steen has confirmed the ruling for TASR and added that the law firm will contest it.
Chovanec's widow and the state of Slovakia now have 15 days to appeal against the verdict at a higher-instance court.
