Bratislava, May 24 (TASR) – Police Corps President Peter Kovarik on Monday tasked Eva Kurrayova with managing the National Crime Agency (NAKA), TASR learnt from Police Corps Presidium spokesman Michal Slivka on the same day.
Kurrayova will occupy the post until a regular selection procedure. “I tasked Eva Kurrayova with managing NAKA without any hesitation, as she wants to move things forward, she’s enthusiastic about her work, and I believe that she’ll bring a calm atmosphere to NAKA with her honest and fair attitude,” stated Kovarik.

Kovarik noted that he first met Kurrayova at a Europol conference on combating tax fraud in 2008. “I view her as an expert experienced in investigation with managerial skills,” he said.
