Police probe property of former Prague public transport boss

The police have launched a probe into corruption allegations surrounding Martin Dvořák, the former boss of the Prague public transport company, the news website aktualne.cz reported on Wednesday. Mr Dvořák faces allegations that dozens of millions of crowns were siphoned from the city-owned firm during his term as director; his mother then bought expensive real estate in Prague in a non-transparent deal involving several off-shore companies as well as a Prague law firm linked to lobbyists at the City Hall. Mr Dvořák and his mother have rejected any wrongdoing.
