Babiš makes changes to business empire after approval of conflict of interest bill

The minister of finance, ANO chief Andrej Babiš, may have started transforming the ownership structure of his business empire, HlídacíPes.org reported on Saturday. The news site said Mr. Babiš had changed the name of a hitherto dormant company of his in December and installed his partner Monika and people from his company Agrofert on its statutory bodies. The move comes after legislators approved a conflict of interest bill placing restrictions on government members. The president has vetoed the amendment.
