Constitutional Court rejects Rath complaint

The Constitutional Court has rejected a complaint from imprisoned MP David Rath regarding his prosecution. The former health minister and governor of Central Bohemia, who was arrested in May after receiving seven million crowns, protested against a number of aspects of his case, including his house search and detention. The court found no encroachment into the MP’s constitutional rights and said he was not qualified to complain as he had not exhausted other legal avenues.
