Czech Republic not to release Priplata to Romania
BRNO- The Czech Republic will not release fugitive businessman Frantisek Priplata to Romania, the Brno regional court ruled.
The Czech Foreign Ministry said earlier that Priplata was legally in the Czech Republic. Priplata was to serve an eight- year prison sentence in Romania for incitement to murder of trade union activist Virgil Sahleanu. However, before he started serving it, he fled to the Czech Republic for fear of life. Romania has asked for his extradition. Priplata claims that his trial was not fair. A Foreign Ministry representative pointed to the penal code saying clearly that the Czech Republic does not extradite its citizens for criminal proceedings to foreign countries.
