Court to hear Seznam case against Babiš in September

The Prague Regional Court will start hearing a case taken by Czech internet company Seznam.cz against Prime Minister Andrej Babiš on September 24, Czech Television reported, citing a court spokesperson.

Seznam.cz previously said it had filed a suit in response to Mr. Babiš’s attacks on the firm and to protect its reputation.

The prime minister said media outlets owned by Seznam founder Ivo Lukačovič carried biased reporting about him and accused the company of evading taxes.
