BRATISLAVA, Slovakia—The suspect in the attempted assassination of Slovakia populist Prime Minister Robert Fico last year has been indicted on terror charges, prosecutors said Monday.

Fico, a divisive figure in Slovakia over his pro-Russia stance, was shot in the abdomen on May 15 as he greeted supporters in the town of Handlova, and has since recovered from multiple wounds.
