Mlada fronta Dnes: Pitr is in a psychiatric facility in north Bohemia

Controversial Czech businessman Tomas Pitr has had a nervous breakdown and is in a psychiatric facility in north Bohemia, according to Mlada fronta Dnes. One of Pitr's aides told the Czech daily on Sunday that Mr Pitr was not seeing visitors or talking to anyone at the healthcare facility. On Friday, a Prague court issued European and international warrants for Mr Pitr's arrest after he failed to show up to serve a five-year prison term for tax evasion. Mr Pitr - one of the Czech Republic's richest men - has lodged an appeal against his sentence with the Supreme Court.
