Znojmo town clerk ends in jail over corruption

A court in Břeclav, southern Moravia, sent a town hall clerk from another Moravian town Znojmo, to jail on Saturday, pending investigation of alleged corruption. Another four people are being investigated for bribery; none of them are elected officials. The arrested man, Tomáš Krejčír, has also been charged with abuse of power. The police raided Znojmo town hall earlier this week and said they found evidence of corruption in the departments focusing on property development.
