Slovakian OTC Bank makes bid to repossess illegally transferred property

OTC Bank, the money behind the residential real-estate property in Bernolakovo, allegedly illegally transferred to a private company in 2009, submitted a plaint to a Slovakian court to repossess the property, Slovakian news daily The Daily.SK wrote March 12.

“The recent scandal surrounding the dubious transfer of a block of flats in Bernolakobo near Bratislava has led the financing bank OTP Bank to lodge a lawsuit against the process,” The Daily.SK wrote.

The property first came into the limelight when the media revealed that former-Deputy Attorney General Dobroslav Trnka ordered an illegal transfer of the Glance House residential complex to a company connected to infamous businessman Marian K.

Trnka allegedly gave the order to transfer the complex despite the fact that the property was frozen after a dispute between the developer’s partners.

Acting Attorney General Ladislav Tichy later announced that Trnka’s actions had not in any way harmed the real estate investigation, adding that no money had been made as a result.
