Every Ethereum client (whether you are a staker or not; you can run a full node without staking!) recognises slashing transactions, and debits the balance of the misbehaving staker in their records.
In other words, the blockchain; in the same way that it's not _miners_ / stakers who process transactions on bitcoin or ethereum ; miners / stakers only decide _ordering_ but everyone who runs an Ethereum client is processing and verifying every transaction; the same way your browser checks a TLS certificate.
