Former head of president‘s office Vratislav Mynář charged with subsidy fraud

Vratislav Mynář, who was in charge of the Office of the President during the tenure of Miloš Zeman has been charged with EU subsidy fraud. The charges were filed in connection with the reconstruction of his guesthouse in Osvětimany. Mynář's company received a CZK 5.99 million subsidy 13 years ago, but the authorities later found that it had applied for the money under false pretenses. The company returned the grant last year.
