In the Czech Republic there's a saying that when "you've got it made" you are "za vodou" - across the water. That expression could apply twofold to fugitive millionaire Radovan Krejcir. Two months after giving the Czech police the slip from his luxury home near Prague, the businessman, who is wanted on charges of fraud and planning the murder of a customs official, has surfaced with his family in the Seychelles. Is it likely the Czech Republic will bring him to justice? Not very: Krejcir, his wife, and his son - have all obtained Seychelles citizenship, making it very unlikely the Czech Republic will get Mr Krejcir back.
