The indictment concerns a contract for the purchase of linear accelerators for 160 million crowns. The police accuse Šnajdr of accepting a bribe of 50,000 crowns, the server wrote.
“In the matter concerning the contract for the purchase of linear accelerators at the hospital in Bulovka, the investigation has already been completed and the police authority submitted a file to the prosecutor with a proposal to file an indictment,” prosecutor Martin Bílý confirmed to the server.
In this case, the defendants are being prosecuted for a total of five crimes – negotiating an advantage in the awarding of a public contract, accepting a bribe, bribery, embezzlement and legalization of the proceeds of crime.
Šnajdr and other actors in the case previously denied guilt, but now, after the motion for indictment, the former deputy stated that he could not comment on this move by the police because he had no information about it, the server wrote. Lawyer Ladislav Veselý, who represents Vrbovská, then stated that he could not comment on the progress in the investigation. “I do not comment on so-called live things in the ongoing proceedings,” Veselý told the server.
The corruption case surrounding the Bulovka Faculty Hospital began in 2018, when detectives arrested businessman Tomáš Horáček and accused him of corruption related to the distribution of hospital contracts. The police then focused on former ODS deputy Šnajdra after Horáček began cooperating with the investigation, the server wrote. As a cooperating accused, Horáček described to the police that the conditions of the competition for the purchase of linear accelerators were set so that the Elekta Services company won the contract. Detectives from NCOZ dealt with several branches of the case.
This summer, Šnajdra, the police, proposed to indict also in one branch of the Dozimeter corruption case, which concerns the contract for the processing of documentation at the General Health Insurance Company.
