Dedicated to the Slovak investigative journalist murdered with his fiancée Martina Kušnírová in February 2018, the Ján Kuciak Investigative Centre was founded by three journalists – Zuzana Petková, a long-time investigative journalist and director of the Stop Corruption Foundation, Peter Bárdy, editor-in-chief of the portal Aktuality.sk, and Lukáš Diko.
