Court sentences travel agent to seven years in prison

A district court in Ostrava, Moravia, has sentenced the owner of a travel agency to seven years in prison for selling bogus holiday packages.

The owner of the agency, Hana Viteckova, owes around 19 million crowns to business partners and over 600 former clients.
