Vít Bárta, head of Public Affairs’ club of MPs, was notified by anti-corruption police on Tuesday that he faces charges of suspected attempted bribery for cash payments made to former party colleagues Jaroslav Škárka and Kristýna Kočí. At the same time, Škárka was officially charged on suspicion of accepting a bribe from Bárta. Both Bárta and Škárka were served notices of the charges against them on Tuesday while in the building of the lower house of parliament. Both MPs claim they are innocent.
