Alleged gunman Juraj Cintula, 71, is facing life in prison if convicted of the 'lone wolf', 'politically motivated' attack that rocked Europe.
The grey-haired, bearded grandfather wrote poems while chairman of the Duha Literary Club in his hometown and published a racist book on 'eyeless gypsies' in 2015. Friends in Cintula's hometown of Levice, western Slovakia, described him as 'rebellious when he was young, but not aggressive' 'That year he left the literary club and formed a political party called 'Movement Against Violence' where he blamed 'plutocracy' for driving nations to war.
The group is said to have received training from Russian Spetsnaz instructors and members allegedly fought for Russia in Ukraine. It apparently prompted Cintula to call him and his fellow politicians 'traitors' following a cabinet meeting in Dolna Krupa, near Bratislava.
