The police recently accused Kula and his former deputy Zdenek Kreuzzieger of depriving the state of millions of crowns in their capacity as Prison Service top managers. Novinky.cz server has put the sum in question at 20 million crowns. "At the moment it is up to the law enforcement bodies to assess whether the Prison Service general director's remaining in the post could threaten the investigation," Steinerova said. She said Pospisil (Civic Democrats, ODS) today asked the police to tell him whether they would continue investigating the case. If the police arrived at the conclusion that the investigation cannot be influenced at present, Pospisil would not make the decision [on Kula] until Kula's complaint against the Czech police shelve alleged bribery case at presidential elections ...

Kula and Kreuzziger face up to eight years in prison for breach of trust if found guilty, anti-corruption police spokesman Roman Skrepek told CTK on Thursday. Skrepek said the accused had signed contracts for metal detectors and jammers to prevent prisoners' unauthorised communication. The pb mont company originally won a tender for a jammer supplier to two prisons, but the order then became a subject to classified regime and the prison service bought jammers for other prisons without launching tenders. In some prisons, however, the jammers did not work properly.
They had to be switched off in the two prisons where they were applied. In another five prisons the Prison Service did not accept the jammers and brought lawsuits against pb mont. The "botched" purchase was discussed by the lower house's control committee last year. It stated that the Prison Service's steps in buying the jammers had been at variance with law and that such mistake should be followed by personnel changes.
