Media: Babiš lawyers to present new opinions as trial resumes

Lawyers for ex-PM Andrej Babiš will put forward new legal opinions in his corruption trial, which is due to resume on Monday, the news website Novinky.cz reported on Sunday.

Mr. Babiš and an associate are accused of wrongfully acquiring CZK 50 million in EU grants for the Stork’s Nest conference centre near Prague.

His lawyers have commissioned new opinions from the field of economics that define competitive products and services, Novinky.cz said.

Mr. Babiš is accused of fraudulently presenting the Stork’s Nest as a small or medium-sized business when in fact it was bigger.
