Group suspected of trading in WWII German weapons

An organised group is suspected of searching for World War II-era weapons left in the border regions by Sudeten Germans and the Nazis and trading in the arms, Pravo reported. The daily said the police's organised crime unit has been investigating the matter for some weeks. A source close to the investigation said one of the suspects was a former StB secret police agent who had been involved in the same activity even before 1989.
