Czech JustMin to check political pressure in Qatari Prince case ... Court in Prague, the server wrote on Tuesday. State attorney Zlatuse Andelova testified that pressure had been exerted on her in connection with Cunek's case and that she had been asked to protract the proceedings. "I have changed my mind and decided to release the ruling on halting my prosecution in the end," Deputy PM Cunek told the daily Pravo on Tuesday night. Cunek has, however, blackened out the names in the document not to cause harm to anybody, he said. Andelova gave testimony on Monday in a suit in which some high-ranking judiciary representatives complained against shadow justice minister Marie Benesova for the senior opposition Social Democrats (CSSD). Benesova described the people in connection with the Cunek case as "a backstage judiciary mafia" that tried to influence criminal cases. Cunek resigned as deputy PM and local development minister last November when the case of his suspected bribery was reopened.
The case was definitively halted a fortnight later and Cunek returned to the government in April.
