Mlad\u00e1 fronta publishes the weekly economic Euro and other magazines and books. In insolvency proceedings, more than 400 creditors applied for receivables, claiming approximately CZK 400 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Representatives of Mlad\u00e1 fronta proposed a reorganization of the company, the insolvency administrator, despite the announcement of bankruptcy, stated that she wanted to maintain the publishing house’s operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The owner of the publishing house is the entrepreneur Franti\u0161ek Savov, who lives in London and is accused of tax fraud in the Czech Republic. Last December, in an interview with DVTV, he said that he would like to return to the Czech Republic, but is concerned that he will not be allowed a fair trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
