Police chief Husak may be considering resignation

Czech Police chief Vladislav Husak says accusations against him are so serious that he will either be dismissed or will resign himself. Mr Husak is accused of having warned key suspects in a number of corruption cases ahead of their planned arrest and leaked sensitive information to a Russian agent. He has rejected the allegations.

Interior Minister Ivan Langer is seriously considering Mr Husak's dismissal. Speaking on radio Impuls on Thursday, he said the problem surrounding the head of the police is affecting the entire force. Mr Langer will discuss the situation with Mr Husak on Friday.
