Aktualne.cz: Part of evidence against Cunek is inadmissible

The Supreme State Attorney Renata Vesecka has told the Aktualne news website that part of the evidence compiled by police in a corruption case against deputy prime minister Jiri Cunek is inadmissible in court. The Christian Democrat leader is accused of taking a bribe of half a million crowns while he was mayor of the Moravian town of Vsetin five years ago. According to Aktualne, Ms Vesecka said that the police had gathered information from Mr Cunek's property dealings over the past twenty years without permission. This is apparently one of the reasons why Ms Vesecka controversially removed the state prosecutor and attorney who were in charge of the case.
