Police charge five over contract to provide tickets for Prague’s transport system

The police’s anti-corruption unit has charged five people over an overpriced contract to produce tickets for Prague’s public transport system. Among those facing accusations including manipulation of public tenders and breach of trust is Martin Dvořák, former director of the city’s transport authority. The case centres on the awarding in 2008 of a contract to provide tickets for the transport system to the company Neograph, which has since itself admitted it received too much for the service.
