Police ask Chamber of Deputies to give up Chaloupka

Police have asked the Chamber of Deputies to give up Public Affairs member Otto Chaloupka for investigation. Mr Chaloupka is suspected of having accepted money from the salary of a former assistant. According to the Chaloupka, he and a group of people had agreed to save money to finance Public Affairs’ election campaign. The assistant thus transferred 25,000 of his 35,000 monthly pay to the MP, who says he did not keep the money for himself. Otto Chaloupka is one of the parliamentarians who has been discussed as a possible supporter of Karolína Peake’s new political faction. He is currently in the United States but says he will remain with Public Affairs.
