No pyrotechnics. A part of a grenade exploded in the backpack of the British in Prague at the airport
“The thing that was supposed to burn in the airport area was part of a military grenade. A so-called shortened preparatory procedure was carried out with one natural person who is not a national of the Czech Republic. The act, which the suspect was supposed to commit, is seen as an act of illicit armament, “Aleš Cimbala, a spokesman for the Municipal Public Prosecutor’s Office in Prague, informed Novinky.
According to him, the man was handed over with a motion to punish the District Court for Prague 6, which convicted her on Thursday and expelled her from the Czech Republic for three years.
According to court spokeswoman Zuzana Barochová, the court’s decision is final. “The man has already been released on intent,” he said.
Police intervened at the airport on Tuesday morning. The explosion occurred in a tube between Terminal 1 and 2. A British citizen was burned.
The police subsequently stated that it was probably an unprofessional manipulation of fireworks that the man had in his backpack. She suffered rather minor injuries. Police subsequently evacuated the corridor between Terminal 1 and 2.
The police detained the foreigner and took him to the service station. Traffic at the airport was limited, but planes took off and landed. The transport company temporarily moved the bus stops.
Police have closed part of the airport.
