The Czech Ministry of Justice is preparing an amendment to the criminal procedure code that would allow police to publicly disclose the nationality of individuals accused of crimes, potentially starting next year. Justice Minister Jeroným Tejc argues there is no reason to withhold this information. However, Karel Dvořák, a deputy chairman of the parliamentary constitutional and legal committee, countered that authorities are not currently concealing such details and can already release nationality information in justified cases. The debate centered on whether the amendment is necessary, with Tejc advocating for greater transparency and Dvořák questioning the premise of secrecy. The proposed change aims to increase public awareness regarding the origins of criminal offenders. The discussion was moderated by Lukáš Dolanský during a broadcast of “Událostech, komentářích.”
