A state prosecutor is seeking a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence for Miroslav Závada, the former deputy mayor of Lovosice, on charges of fraud and attempted murder. Závada, previously affiliated with the ODS party, allegedly committed the fraud alongside Vladimíra Nováková, a former colleague who also served as deputy mayor. The prosecutor is recommending a suspended sentence and a fine of 200,000 Czech koruna for Nováková. The case reached its final arguments at the Ústí nad Labem district court on Thursday. A verdict is expected next week. The charges stem from alleged criminal activity during their time in office. This case highlights potential corruption within local Czech government.
