Jozef Kuciak, father of murdered Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak, Golden Victoria German media award

Jozef Kuciak, father of murdered Slovak journalist Jan Kuciak, received the Golden Victoria German media award in the press freedom category for his son Jan in memoriam in Berlin, German, on November 5, 2018. Kuciak, 27, who was shot dead together with his fiancee of the same age, in their Slovak home in February, tried to uncover links between Slovak politicians and mafia. The last article he worked on before his death dealt with the fraudulent activities of Italian businesspeople in east Slovakia, mainly subsidy and VAT frauds. The German Magazine Publishers' Association (VDZ) bestowed the same prize on Maltese reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, whose murder was most likely motivated by her work as well.
