Prague police shelve Chinese flag vandalism case

Prague police have shelved their investigation into vandalism of Chinese flags on Prague’s Evropská Street some months back ahead of the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping. He visited Prague in March. The news was confirmed by police spokesman Jan Daněk. On the night of March 26 an unknown perpetrator damaged more than 50 flags using apparent ‘paint bombs’ that were hurled at the items. The Chinese flags had been hung alongside Czech flags on Evropská Street and other areas near Prague Castle. The damage was tabulated at more than 130,000 crowns.
