The infamous "Pirate of Prague" Viktor Kozeny, wanted by the Czech authorities for absconding with billions of Czech crowns belonging to thousands of small shareholders, effectively 'bought' Irish citizenship and moved to the Bahamas. Radovan Krejcir, accused of tax evasion and conspiracy to murder, acquired Seychelles citizenship back in 1996. He has been living on the island ever since he managed to escape from his home in the middle of a police search in the summer of 2005. And then there is his good friend, Tomas Pitr, who appealed a Prague court ruling sentencing him to 8.5 years for tax fraud and recently left the country for what he called a planned holiday with his family. It is not yet clear whether Mr Pitr planned to leave the country in advance just like his two fellow fugitive businessmen. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/radovan-krejcir-a-fugitive-businessman-a-gilded-cage-8624206 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
