Czech MMA fighter Karlos Vémola (40) announced two days before Christmas that he will undergo an operation related to acute inflammation of the jawwhich, according to him, formed around the fracture and was not helped by the neglected treatment of the broken figure eight. A few hours later, the police broke into his house and dragged him into custody, where he spent another week in great pain. He finally completed the procedure on the penultimate day of 2025.
After the operation, his team contacted the fans and informed them about the condition of the famous fighter. “Karlos greets everyone and thanks for the continued support he has received. He says he is feeling better. Karlos will undergo post-operative treatment, which should last another 5-6 weeks, in the Pankrác remand prison’s hospital and polyclinic. in which it is still located now,” he referred to .
While Vémola was lying on the operating table, the doctors discovered that the inflammation progressed and literally ate away part of his jaw. To hold it together, the left side of his jaw had to be wired and supported with a metal plate so that the bone would grow together properly. It is not entirely clear whether the one-week postponement of the operation had a major impact on Karlos’ condition.
However, the police must have known at least from his social network that the operation was supposed to take place on the given date. However, according to the Czech daily, no one contacted the hospital after the intervention, and so on according to other information, the operating room with a team of prepared surgeons was left without a patient that day. Vémola is also considering a lawsuit against the Police of the Czech Republic for personal injury.
In the case involving the Czech wrestler, the police charged two more people with drug crimes last Friday (January 9). In total, in the case of cocaine distribution, five persons have already been prosecuted, of which four are being prosecuted in prison, according to station ČT24. This was confirmed by Lucie Šmoldasová, spokeswoman for the National Anti-Drug Headquarters of the Czech Police, as reported by the TASR correspondent in Prague.
“At the beginning of the year, two other men, both Czech citizens, were charged in this matter. Both were prosecuted for illegal production and handling of narcotic and psychotropic substances and poisons, while one faces up to 12 years in prison, the other 18,” Šmoldasová was quoted by the Novinky.cz server.
Police initially arrested Vémola and two other men on December 23 and charged all three at the time with particularly serious organized crime involving drugs on an international scale. They face 18 years in prison. For mixed martial arts (MMA) Vémol, this is not his first drug-related run-in with the law. In the past, he was already convicted of a drug crime in Britain, for which he was in prison for several months.
