Court serves 9 year sentences for “robbery of the century”

The main suspect in the biggest cash robbery in the country’s history has been tried in absentia and sentenced to 9 years in prison. The Municipal Court of Prague on Tuesday found František Procházka, who is believed to have fled the country, guilty of stealing more than 500 million crowns from the G4S security agency. Procházka’s accomplice, Milan Čermák, who was arrested in early 2008 with several million crowns in cash also received a nine year sentence, despite pleading innocent. Police provided evidence linking him to the vehicle used in the theft.
