Three men pleaded guilty in a Czech court to stealing cables that paralyzed rail traffic between Prague and Ostrava last November. Ján Ištok, 51, Martin Mirga, 42, and his son Nikolas Mirga, 22, admitted to the theft, claiming they intended to earn extra money. The act caused significant disruption to the railway corridor, impacting tens of thousands of passengers. The defendants expressed remorse for their actions during the court proceedings in Přerov. The theft led to a complete standstill of train services on a key transportation route. Authorities investigated the incident as a major disruption to public infrastructure. Further details regarding sentencing have not yet been released.
