Press: Czech police want to file further charges against Pitr

Czech police have announced that they want to charge controversial entrepreneur Tomas Pitr with insider trading, according to the Pravo daily. Mr Pitr is suspected of siphoning off 750 million Czech crowns (around 34.5 million US dollars) from the Agrocredit food company when he was chairman of its board. If found guilty, he could face up to 12 years in jail. Mr Pitr has already been sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion, but has not yet had to serve his sentence because of apparent health problems.
