Files on fugitive Krejcir stolen from high-ranking public official

The CTK news agency reports that a briefcase containing files relating to the case of fugitive Czech businessman Radovan Krejcir, which was found on the street in Brno, had been stolen from Milan Horvath, the head of the serious fraud department of the Supreme State Attorney's Office. The documents had been reportedly stolen from Mr Horvath's car last Tuesday. Police arrested the thief, who tried to sell the documents, on Thursday. The Supreme State Attorney, Renata Vesecka, has said she will decide on the form of reprehension for Mr Horvath on Wednesday. Police say the files were by no means stolen on Mr Krejcir's orders. Mr Krejcir, who is wanted on charges of fraud and murder, is currently in custody in South Africa, from where the Czech Republic is seeking his extradition.
