Police are expected in the coming days to press charges against a gang which was preparing to break into a number of Prague villas, including those owned by minister of finance and ANO party leader, Andrej Babiš, the news weekly Respekt reported Thursday. The gang was considering kidnapping Babiš’ children as well. The magazine said police stumbled on the plot which was led by a gang of Albanians. They arrested nine gang members at the turn of the year. A Prague police investigator who was linked to the gang and tasked with giving them early warning if the law was on their trail is also under arrest, the magazine said.
