Interior Ministry dept to review charges in Kubice case

The Supervision department of the Interior Ministry will review all charges pressed in the so-called 'Kubice case'. Four days ahead of the general election Jan Kubice, a highly placed police official from the country's squad against organised crime, presented a confidential report in the lower house suggesting that organised crime was gaining influence in the state administration. Parts of the report were leaked to the media. Mr Kubice has denied any role in that leak or any wrongdoing, but he is being sued, for instance, by Prime Minister Jiri Paroubek for speculation allegedly in part of the report that Mr Paroubek had sexually-abused the daughter of a family friend.
