General Prosecutor Jaromír Čižnár has decided to temporarily suspend the performance of his predecessor, Dobroslav Trnka, as prosecutor. The reason is the start of a disciplinary proceeding, the private broadcaster TV JOJ reported on its website.
The information was confirmed by the spokesperson of the General Prosecutor’s Office, Andrea Predajňová.
The decision came shortly after the Czech Center for Investigative Journalism published video footage showing how mobster Marian Kočner is placing a camera in the office of former general prosecutor, Dobroslav Trnka, while Trnka himself is present in the room.
