Court remands two suspects over arson attack on LPP arms factory

A district court in Pardubice has placed two suspects in custody over a terrorist attack and participation in a terrorist group linked to Friday’s deliberate arson of a hall at the LPP Holding arms factory. The judge cited risks of flight, collusion and reoffending, police said on X.

According to reports, the suspects are a man and a woman. Judge Karel Gobernac said the man, a foreign national, is charged with terrorism, while the woman is Czech. Neither admitted guilt and both largely refused to testify. They face up to 20 years in prison or an exceptional sentence.
