Top Social Democrat (ČSSD) politician David Rath was caught red-handed with CZK 7 million in his hands, according to state prosecutor for the Ústí region Lenka Bradáčová. That situation meant that police were bound to act immediately without regard to his parliamentary immunity. “The member of parliament was immediately detained as he committed a criminal offense,” she added. Bradáčová said in a news conference Tuesday that Rath had been charged with taking bribes.
