Top police job should be for limited period, says Minister Langer

The post of president of the Czech police force should be for a fixed period only, the minister of the interior, Ivan Langer, said on Sunday. Vladimir Husak recently resigned as police chief after media allegations that he was involved in a corruption scandal and the leak of information to a Russian agent. Mr Husak denied the allegations but said he did not wish to damage the reputation of the force. He has been appointed head of the foreigners' police. Jan Brazda became acting police president on Sunday.
