- PS leader Michal Šimečka announced the filing of a criminal complaint at KÚFS.
- The impetus was the findings of the Stop Corruption Foundation on instructions for the lustration of the association.
- According to Šimeček, KÚFS was supposed to audit the accounts of the civic association on a political order.
- Šimečka provided a loan of 5,200 euros to the civic association, and received 5,000 euros back.
- KÚFS was supposed to check the finances of several associations without legal competences, including the Forum Project.
“The criminal office of the financial administration, on a political order, scrutinized, broke into the accounts of the civic association and my mother last year, and on the basis of that, this whole thing started,” said Šimečka. He added that he provided a loan of 5,200 euros to the civic association. The association later returned 5,000 euros to him.
According to the findings of the Stop corruption Foundation published on its website, KÚFS should have checked the finances of several associations despite the fact that it does not have the competence to do so. The Forum Project should also be among the associations.
