Lawyer accuses Social Democrats of giving creditors preferential treatment

A Prague lawyer has demanded that the Social Democratic Party make their books of account public and prove that they are not giving preferential treatment to other creditors. Zdenek Altner suspects that the country's second biggest party paid a creditor almost one million crowns despite the fact that it still owes him 19 billion (close to 890 million US dollars) for his services almost seven years ago. On Wednesday, Mr Altner threatened to go ahead with plans to start bankruptcy proceedings against the Social Democrats.
