The Czech minister of labour and social affairs, Jaromír Drábek, on
Tuesday dismissed his deputy, Vlastimil Šiška whom the police have
charged with bribery. Mr Drábek, from the TOP 09 party, said he felt
“full political responsibility” for giving him the job, and added if
Mr
Šiška is proven guilty, he would himself step down from his post.
The police have charged deputy labour and social affairs minister
Vlastimil Šiška and another official at the ministry with bribery but
have not released any details as to the nature of their allegedly criminal
activities.
