Krejcirova, also prosecuted as fugitive, was suspected of having used her husband Radovan Krejcir's money though she knew that it originated in criminal activities. According to the plaintiff, Krejcirova accepted large sums of money until 2005 or even later, though she must have known that it originates from tax evasion, among others.
She used 150 million crowns to buy, reconstruct and maintain a villa in Cernosice near Prague. In June 2005, the police accused Krejcirova of money laundering. She was suspected of helping her husband to cover up the dubious origin of his money. Later the state attorney re-qualified the suspected crime to complicity. "There is no evidence to prove that Krejcirova knew that the money Rice to sign Czech-U.S. radar treaty in Prague next week ...

He said the origin of the money remains unclear as well. "It is disputable whether the money originated in criminal activities," Vosmansky said. He recalled that Krejcir has so far been found guilty only in a single case, the damage of 1.5 million crowns was involved. There is no evidence to prove that Krejcirova used just this 1.5 million to buy and run the Cernosice villa, he said. Vosmansky also rejected the plaintiff's assertion that the money originated from tax evasion. Krejcir, who is in the Czech Republic prosecuted for property and violent crimes, escaped from the police in June 2005 and left abroad. His wife and his son then left for a holiday abroad, rejoined Krejcir in Dubai and they jointly left for the Seychelles. All the three have Seychellois citizenship. Since April 21, 2007, Krejcir has stayed in South Africa where he arrived using a fake passport. This February, a Johannesburg court decided that Krejcir should not be extradited to Prague. The verdict has not taken effect so far. (USD1=14.617 crowns)
