Justice Minister questioned by police

Justice Minister Pavel Nemec was questioned by police for an hour or so on Tuesday in connection with steps he took in the case of a Qatari royal charged with - and later found guilty of - sexually abusing underaged girls. Originally, Mr Nemec aimed to have the case handed over to Qatar, a controversial move found suspect by chief state prosecutor Marie Benesova. She ordered an investigation into the matter. So far police have questioned several witnesses, but have refused to release additional details.
