Inspection team says state attorney Salichov made the right decision

An inspection team from the Brno State Attorney's Office has concluded that Jihlava state attorney Arif Salichov was right to halt a corruption investigation involving the deputy prime minister Jiri Cunek. Head of the office, Petr Coufal said that he had thoroughly reviewed the case and concluded that Salichov's decision was well-grounded and correct. He also questioned the credibility of the key witness, Cunek's former secretary, and said she may face charges of false testimony. The decision to halt the investigation involving the deputy prime minister immediately raised suspicion that the case was politically manipulated in Jiri Cunek's favour.
