Vice PM Čunek to testify in case of entrepreneurs Vaškůj and Šmiřák

Deputy Prime Minister Jiří Čunek will again be called as a witness in the case of entrepreneurs Roman Vaškůj and Petr Šmiřák, it was revealed on Monday. Mr Čunek had previously refused to testify before the Přerov court hearing the case, but on Monday, the presiding judge insisted that Mr Čunek appear as a witness. Mr Čunek was previously cleared of accepting bribes from Messrs Vaškůj and Šmířak. The leader of the Christian Democratic Party resigned from his government posts over allegations he had taken bribes from the two, but was reinstated after an investigation was dropped.
