Czech Republic: Former corruption police chief dismisses accusations
The accusation that too high bonuses were paid to the police is false, Libor Vrba, former head of the Czech anti-corruption police unit, tells daily Hospodarske noviny (HN) today.
Vrba also dismissed the accusation that he helped cover up the stealing of special funds for the payment of informants.
Vrba said the speculations could have been motivated by the effort to disintegrate the anti-corruption police squad lest it investigate serious cases.
Daily Pravo wrote last week that the recent suicide of elite detective Milan Kral, head of the Czech police team fighting money laundering, may be related to the fact that he took money from a police fund for informants even though he did not officially cooperate with any informant.
The suspected drawing of money from the informant fund was revealed by a recent check ordered by the new anti-corruption police chief, Tomas Martinec.
Kral's requests for money from the fund were signed by Vrba and his former deputy Tomas Krul, Pravo wrote.
"All of this is a lie," Vrba told HN, adding that he himself had ordered the check.
He asked how it was possible that the media had receive the results of the check even before they reached the Interior Ministry.
"This makes me conclude that it might be an effort to discredit both me and the whole former leadership of the body," Vrba said.
Vrba also dismissed the information that before his departure, he had distributed bonuses of a total sum of over one million crowns to his fellow workers.
"Before I left, the sum for the bonuses for this year came from the police headquarters with the instruction that one-third of it should be spent," Vrba said.
Vrba said he and his subordinates "were investigating some serious cases, approaching their core."
"We instituted a new way of work. Perhaps, we were coming close to some big fish," Vrba said.
Vrba left the post in mid-February, citing personal problems as the reason of his resignation.
He told HN today that he had left because new police chief Petr Lessy had told him he did not want to collaborate with him.
