It divides the Slovak mafia into the following groups: Piťovci, Jakšíkovci, Takáčovci, vlamači,[a] autičkári,[b] and defektári.

The list consists of names, addresses, birth numbers, used weapons, registered vehicles, employment information and telephone contacts.

The third mafia list was leaked by a policewoman working at the Office of Combating Organized Crime (Úrad boja proti organizovanej kriminalite) who downloaded it on her USB flash drive and later into the notebook of another person.
