Court: the Minister of Transport illegally deprived a whistleblower of his job
The head of the railway watchdog warned that the billion-dollar injection into the debt-ridden Czech Railways was illegal. The transport minister immediately cancelled his appointment and the government then cancelled the authority. The court said it was illegal retaliation. The government of Petr Fiala has another problem with a high-ranking official who reported suspected illegal actions by his superiors. Last week, the government, at the suggestion of Pavel Blažek, terminated the post of Jan Benýšek, director of the Justice Ministry’s insolvency department, a day after he officially reported suspicions about the deputy minister’s practices in the matter of insolvency administrators.
