Czech PM Defends Detained Aide Amid Widespread Raids

Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas said on June 13 that he still supports one of his closest aides, Jana Nagyova, after she was detained by police. Czech authorities this week carried out a series of anticorruption raids on government offices across Prague, seizing documents from city hall and searching the safe-deposit boxes at a major bank. A police spokesman said no charges have yet been filed but the investigation is continuing. (Reuters)
