Roman Berbr, former vice-president of the Czech Football Association, has been found guilty of embezzling money from the Plzeň Regional Football Association, for which he received a suspended sentence, a financial penalty and a ban on further activities in the sports association. The Plzeň District Court which tried the case did not find him guilty of match-fixing or participating in an organized criminal group. Roman Rogoz, the former sports director of Slavoj Vyšehrad, was given a four-year prison sentence. Twenty people are being tried together with Berbr in a scandal that rocked the Czech sports world.
