Police shelve Gross case for lack of evidence

The police have shelved the case concerning the alleged dubious financing of former prime minister Stanislav Gross' flat saying that they have no evidence indicating that he committed a crime. The scandal surrounding Mr. Gross' private finances resulted in a government crisis in 2005 and eventually led to his political downfall. Although Mr. Gross was unable to explain where he had got the money for his luxury flat the police said they found his finances in order and above board.
