Deputy Prime Minister Jan Hamáček (CSSD) has filed a lawsuit against the Seznam Zprávy server over a report on his canceled trip to Moscow. He said that today the site of CNN News Prima. He claims ten million in damages for claiming that he spoke at an internal meeting about his intention to “exchange the international scandal” surrounding the explosions in Vrbětice in the Zlín region for supplies of the Spidnik V covid-19 vaccine. He had previously filed a criminal complaint against the authors of the text. In May, the editor-in-chief of the Seznam Zprávy server, Jiří Kubík, stated that the website is ready to prove the veracity of its findings in court.
Hamáček announced the criminal complaint and the lawsuit in mid-May. He strongly rejects server information about his intention. According to Hamáček, the authors of the report could have committed criminal offenses of defamation or spreading an alarming message. The Deputy Prime Minister has repeatedly reiterated in recent weeks that the Czech diplomatic reaction to the findings of Russia’s involvement in the Vrbětice explosions in 2014 was a clear success, but the List’s report made the case a “potato pancake” and benefited Moscow.
“I have filed a civil lawsuit against the News List. If I succeed, the money will go to the Fire and Police Foundation. It is a foundation that cares for the survivors of firefighters who died in the line of duty or were affected in some way,” Hamacek told CNN Prima News.
The cabinet announced on April 17 that the Czech Republic would expel 18 employees of the Russian embassy in the Czech Republic due to information from law enforcement agencies and secret services about the involvement of GRU agents in the explosions. Russia responded by expelling 20 employees of the Czech Embassy in Moscow. Later, Czech diplomacy informed about the forced departure of other Russian diplomats from the Czech Republic by the end of May, and Russia announced that it was moving “in strict parity” in the number of embassy staff.
