Two Czech bank robbers arrested in Thailand

Two Czechs who were found guilty of a 74-million crown robbery have been arrested in Thailand. The two young men were sentenced to ten years in prison by a Czech court but only served a year of that sentence before the former justice minister Daniela Kovářová ordered their temporary release on the grounds of a complaint pertaining to an alleged violation of their rights. By the time the matter was investigated and Kovářová’s successor Jiří Pospíšil reversed the order, both men had disappeared. The two men were arrested on an Interpol warrant with the help of Austrian police.
