Czech chief prosecutor resigns
Czech Prosecutor General Pavel Zeman said on Friday he was resigning over disagreements with Justice Minister Marie Benesova
PRAGUE, May 14. /TASS/. Czech Prosecutor General Pavel Zeman is resigning, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Jan Hamacek announced on his Twitter on Friday. Pavel Zeman is an outstanding lawyer and professional. Let me thank him for the years of work for the Czech Republic and, among other things, for the Vrbetice case, Hamacek wrote.
Pavel Zeman stated in April that explosions at the ammunition storage depots in the settlement of Vrbetice in 2014 are not a terror attack and in this case no interest to undermine the constitutional system or damage the Czech Republic’s defense capability has been established. He also said it was solely up to politicians to decide on how to characterize the incident both in politics and in the media.
