Case of ČEZ “paramilitary” unit definitively closed

The case of energy giant ČEZ using an armed “anti-theft unit” to recover debts has been definitively closed. Supreme State Prosecutor Pavel Zeman lost a complaint to the Supreme Court, in which he protested the suspension of the investigation into the group. Two years ago, 13 people were charged after shocking video footage emerged showing ČEZ controllers dressed like commandoes and carrying out paramilitary-like training for the purpose of collecting money from black market consumers. The Supreme Court has yet to publish its findings, saying only that agreed for the most part with the lower courts, which found that no crime had been committed.
