Gross case reopened

The Prague State Attorney's Office has announced that a corruption investigation into the financial dealings of former prime minister Stanislav Gross is to be re-opened. Mr Gross resigned as prime minister in 2005 after failing to satisfactorily name a source for money he received to buy a luxury flat in Prague. Although police have already shelved the case twice, a spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office said that other circumstances surrounding the case now needed to be investigated.
