Railway Inspectorate accuses Transport Ministry of dodging dealings

The Railways Inspectorate has filed a complaint against the Ministry of Transport for allegedly manipulating the selection process to find a new boss for the state body, Prima TV reported. The position’s current holder, Roman Šigut, said the Transport Ministry was trying to install somebody who would cover up for things in a way he was not willing to do. The Railways Inspectorate had previously accused Transport Minister Aleš Řebíček of trying to influence the investigation of a train crash, a charge denied by the minister.
