Current Affairs Pop singer to fight allegation he collaborated with StB
Well-known pop singer Vaclav Neckar, (who many will remember as the ill-fated 'Milos' in the Czech film Closely Watched Trains), has indicated he intends to fight an allegation he collaborated with the StB, communist Czechoslovakia's secret police. Earlier this week the Czech newspaper Lidove Noviny reported it had uncovered original documents allegedly revealing that Mr Neckar met sixteen times with an StB agent over a period of around nine years (from 1978 to 1987). According to Lidove Noviny, Mr Neckar was listed as an StB "confidant", expected to report on fellow colleagues including singer and close friend Marta Kubisova.
