Czech PM loses appeal on past secret police ties
By EUOBSERVER
Czech prime minister Andrej Babis will not be able to erase his ties to communist-era secret police following a Slovak court ruling on Tuesday. Babis was born in present-day Slovakia. In the 1980s, he had met with secret police (StB) officers in the former Czechoslovakia and has been suspected of being a collaborator out to enrich himself.
