Court to deliver verdict in Prague sports subsidy case

The Prague Municipal Court will deliver its verdict today in the case concerning the allocation of sports subsidies by the city's magistrate. Nine individuals, including former minister Karel Březina (formerly Social Democrats) and current city council members Jan Wolf (Christian Democrats) and Stanislav Nekolný (ANO Party), face charges. The prosecutor alleges that the evaluation committee and two sports department officials favored certain projects due to personal or influential interests. The accused deny any wrongdoing. The case involves the alleged misallocation of CZK 32.8 million in subsidies, with CZK 17.8 million actually disbursed.
