Czech hygiene officials corruption investigation

Overview

Czech police have charged former ANO MP Margita Balaštíková, along with Vladimír Možíšek, the current director of Prague hygiene, and Eva Sedláčková, the former head of hygiene in Zlín, in connection with an investigation into the manipulation of hygiene inspections.

Investigators allege that Balaštíková sought to use hygiene inspections to target ChemProgres, a company owned by her former husband, following their divorce. The case involves allegations that secret recordings captured discussions regarding ways to undermine the business.

Balaštíková and Možíšek face charges of abuse of official power, while Sedláčková is accused of favoritism or aiding and abetting. Možíšek has maintained his innocence and stated his intention to prove it. The Ministry of Health has indicated it will respect the presumption of innocence but is prepared to act in accordance with the State Service Act should an indictment be filed.
