U.S. bars Slovakia's former chief prosecutor, son from entry -statement

The Biden administration has blocked Slovakia's former chief prosecutor and his son from entering the United States, citing "significant corruptions," the State Department said in a statement on Thursday.

The public designations target former Prosecutor General Dobroslav Trnka, who was charged in late 2019 with abuse of power for hiding recordings amid fall-out from an investigation into a journalist's murder in 2018. Thursday's designation also targets his son, Jakub Trnka.
