Police propose further corruption charges against convicted ex-politician Rath

The police have proposed that files be charged against former politician David Rath and eight other people in connection with a case for which Mr. Rath has already received an eight and a half year jail term. The accused are suspected of manipulating public tenders and EU funds in the Central Bohemian Region, of which Mr. Rath was governor. The charges – which involve eight companies – were hived off from the one-time minister’s first trial in order to speed up the process. Mr. Rath has appealed the verdict in the initial case.
