Hybášková ordered to apologise to Tlustý over corruption allegation

Jana Hybášková, an MEP for the European Democrats, has been ordered by the Prague High Court to apologise to Civic Democrat MP Vlastimil Tlustý for accusing him of corruption. Ms Hybášková also has to pay financial compensation of CZK 50,000 to Mr Tlustý. He had been demanding CZK one million, after the MEP accused him of seeking a bribe of that amount in exchange for support for a subsidy for her party.
