Appellate court raises Rezesova prison sentence to 9 years

Budapest, September 11 (MTI) – Slovak millionaire Eva Rezesova Varholikova has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for causing a fatal road accident in 2012 while driving under the influence.

The appellate court raised a 6-year prison sentence.

Four people died in the accident on August 21, 2012 when Rezesova, driving a BMW X5 at a speed of 165kmh on the M3 motorway in the early hours, ran into a Fiat Punto from behind.

Rezesova is the daughter of the late Alexander Rezes, Slovakia’s transport minister in the 1990s, and the country’s second richest businessman at the time.
