They allegedly agreed in advance with Neograph director Jan Janků and Peter Kmeť, Rittig’s business partner.
The public prosecutor claimed that, on Kmeť’s proposal, he had purposefully marked the tickets as prizes, which would not well announce an open tender for suppliers.
The key evidence, which, in addition to acquittal, was additionally obtained by the expert institute Equita Consulting. According to the report, it is not possible to determine the so-called usual ticket price, and therefore also whether they were overpriced.
The paper mill paid 17 pennies from Kmeť’s Caribbean company Cokeville Assets for each ticket produced. According to the indictment, the Neograph company illegally paid out at least 40 million crowns, which the perpetrators legalized through other companies. However, the accused managers stated that this was standard security for arranging a contract with a Prague transport company.
