Czech TV: court to decide on Krejcir's possible release later in May

Public broadcaster Czech TV has reported that a court in Johannesburg, South Africa will decide on the possible release of Czech-born fugitive businessman Radovan Krejcir on bail later this May. The broadcaster said the decision could take place between May 17th and the 24th. Mr Krejcir is wanted by Czech authorities on suspicion of a number of crimes, including, allegedly, plotting to have a customs officer murdered. Mr Krejcir fled the Czech Republic in 2005 during a police search of his villa. He later resurfaced in the Seychelles, where it came to light he had obtained Seychellois citizenship much earlier. Mr Krejcir was arrested recently in South Africa using a false passport.
