Current Affairs Constitutional Court rules restitution lawyer's wiretapping illegal
In 2004, the police asked a court in Prague for permission to tap the phone of Jaroslav Capek, a restitution lawyer based in Hradec Kralove, East Bohemia. The police were trying to prove that Mr Capek committed frauds while representing Frantisek Oldrich Kinsky in his disputes with the state over confiscated family property. On Wednesday, the Czech Constitutional Court ruled that the interception was unsubstantiated and illegal.
