No release from custody for Czech tennis boss

The president of the Czech Tennis Association, Ivo Kaderka, and the head of its supervisory board, Vojtěch Flégl, must remain in custody on charges of large-scale corruption, the Czech News Agency reported on Tuesday. Mr. Kaderka is believed to have had an appeal against his remand rejected, the news outlet said.

The case centres on alleged fraud involving millions of crowns in state subsidies intended for tennis and youth sports organisations.

The two suspects have been behind bars since the end of February.
