Czech Skanska suspected of corruption

The Czech subsidiary of the Swedish construction and development firm Skanska is suspected of being involved in a corruption scandal, Czech Radio reported on Tuesday. The radio quoted two high-ranking Skanska officials, who said that Skanska sent 100 million crowns to a company that was involved in completing the R7 motorway, adding that the money was subsequently used for bribing. The head of the Czech Skanska at the time was the current transport minister Dan Ťok, nominated by the ANO party.
