Institute of State and Law says no expert assessment was needed for CASA purchase

The Institute of State and Law says that no expert opinion was needed for the purchase of the CASA military aircraft in 2010. In a statement prepared for the Ministry of Finance, the institute of the Academy of Sciences writes that the Spanish transport planes qualified as “special technology” that did not at the time require an expert price analysis or a public tender. The police have asked Parliament to give up former defence minister Vlasta Parkanová for prosecution because she did not have an expert price analysis conducted prior to the 3.5 billion crown purchase.
