Pavel Budinský, a name now heavily associated with the ongoing Motol University Hospital corruption case, is facing increased scrutiny. According to criminal investigators, Budinský is a key figure in the alleged corruption. The story goes beyond the hospital walls, however. It turns out that Budinský also held leadership roles within associations of war veterans and legionnaires.
A Leader of Veterans
How do those who served alongside him remember his leadership? This question hangs heavy as the details of the Motol case continue to unfold. Was there any indication of the alleged corruption during his time leading these organizations? Did he ever use his position to enrich himself?
The investigation has revealed that Budinský spent a significant amount of money on real estate – an estimated 53 million – a sum far exceeding his reported income. According to Seznam Zprávy, this amount is roughly 35 million more than what Budinský officially earned during the same period. This discrepancy has further fueled the corruption investigation and raised serious questions about the source of his wealth.
Detentions in the Motol Case
The District Court for Prague 5 has been actively involved in the case, recently ordering the detention of Petr Kysučan, the manager of DCI Czech, as the fifth accused individual. Kysučan joins a list of other key figures already in custody, including former hospital head Miroslav Ludvík, lawyer Miroslav Jansta, manager Mykhaylo Popovych, and Budinský himself. The European Public Prosecutor has sought custody for a total of five of the seventeen individuals currently under criminal prosecution.
