The police Wednesday detained five persons and charged another four over money laundering and breach of trust within the Promopro scandal during the Czech EU presidency in 2009, the server E15.cz wrote.
Twelve people have been charged with machinations with state money within the case, Euro.cz wrote.
…The Finance Ministry found out earlier that it is not clear what the state received in exchange for about a half of the 550 million crowns it paid to the Promopro firm for its audiovisual services during the Czech EU presidency in the first half of 2009.
Some 135 million crowns were allegedly transferred to the account of the firm Deeside Service Solutions in Austria. The money was allegedly sent to other Austrian accounts, too.
