Lower house committee to decide on future investigations into Rath

The Czech Parliament’s Mandate and Immunity Committee will deliberate another police request to give up former governor and Social Democratic MP David Rath for criminal investigation on Monday afternoon. The lower house committee had already approved criminal investigation into Mr Rath in the spring in relation to corruption charges over the reconstruction of the Buštěhrad chateau. This time, the police are seeking to investigate Mr Rath on three other charges relating to purchases of equipment for a Kolín hospital, a nursing home in Kladno and medical supplies for a hospital in Mladá Boleslav.
