The police have detained six suspects in connection with the
investigation into the case of fugitive billionaire Radovan Krejcir.
Krejcir, who is wanted for extensive tax evasion, extortion and
conspiracy to murder, escaped to the Seychelles in June while the
police were raiding his luxury villa. The Czech authorities have failed
in their request to get him extradited on the grounds that Krejcir has
been a citizen of the Seychelles since 1996, but an investigation into
the respective crimes continues. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic is
negotiating an agreement on the exchange of suspects and convicts with
the Seychelles.
