Police say several suspects have died since the 1999 massacre.
On the evening on March 25, 1999, three masked men disguised as policemen burst into the Fontána restaurant in the southern Slovakia town of Dunajská Streda. Brandishing guns, they announced that they were conducting a police raid and ordered everyone to lay on the ground. They then ran upstairs and proceeded to shoot dead ten men, all of them members of the Papáyovci underworld gang.
Among the victims was the gang's eponymous boss, Tibor Pápay, nicknamed Papa Joe. It was Slovakia's biggest mass killing, but only one among a series of violent incidents related to organised crime in the small town, which has a population of around 23,000.
"This is the biggest mass murder that has happened in Slovakia's history. It has not been clarified for a long time," said the director of Slovakia's National Criminal Agency (NAKA), Ľubomír Daňko. at a press conference in Budapest on January 20, 2023.
