South African court adjourns proceedings with Czech businessman

A court in Johannesburg which was due to discuss the Czech Republic's request for the extradition of fugitive businessman Radovan Krejcir on Monday has again adjourned the proceedings. The commercial radio station Impuls reported the news on Sunday quoting Justice Ministry spokeswoman Zuzana Kuncova. Mr Krejcir, now a Seychellois citizen, is wanted in the Czech Republic on charges of fraud and conspiracy to murder. He escaped from the country in June 2005. In April, Mr Krejcir was arrested in Johannesburg at the Czech Republic's request. He was later released from custody on bail and is now waiting in South Africa for the court verdict on his extradition.
