A Czech court in Břeclav has acquitted a former supervisor of the Břeclav Technical Services Center regarding the death of a 12-year-old boy on a playground in May 2024. The boy died after being struck by a falling goalpost. Prosecutors accused the man of manslaughter through negligence, potentially carrying a six-year sentence. However, the judge ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the accused committed a criminal act, attributing the tragedy to systemic failures instead. The defendant maintained his innocence, stating he fulfilled all work obligations. The court provided justification for its decision, emphasizing the lack of demonstrable culpability on the part of the accused.
