BBC Europe – Jan Kuciak murder: Slovak PM offers €1m reward in appeal. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has offered a one million euro ($1.2m) reward for anyone who comes forward with information about the murder of an investigative journalist. Jan Kuciak, 27, and his partner Martina Kusnirova were shot dead in their home. Both were found with single gunshot wounds on Sunday. Several newspapers in Slovakia have printed Kuciak’s last article, which links the Italian mafia to high-level political corruption.
