Michal Redl: The court limited his jurisdiction to another five years
The daily wrote that Redl had been incapacitated since 2014. His prosecution at the time was interrupted with the argument that due to an illness that occurred only after the crime was committed, he was unable to understand the meaning of management. The Plzeň-město District Court has now decided on further restrictions on the man’s autonomy, on 13 May. “She was heard by an expert and assessed. His autonomy was limited to a period of five years, according to the judgment, and increased the amount he could dispose of. “ said the president of the court Petra Pavlíčková.
However, investigators of the current case claim, according to the daily, that Redl is fine and lives life as an independent person. Therefore, he sees no reason for this former collaborator of the fugitive criminal Radovan Krejčíř to avoid criminal prosecution. There are up to 12 years in prison for setting up an organized crime group.
“In fact, he carried out business activities associated with the purchase and sale of real estate in the order of tens to hundreds of millions of crowns. In this context, he communicated with lawyers, bankers or top representatives of multinational companies. None of the people Michal Redl dealt with had any doubts about his mental state“Deník N quoted from police documents.
In addition, according to police, Redl is asking the court to approve the marriage with his current partner, and the limit for the amount of money he can spend per month could be increased.
The disease did not occur until after the act …?
Mental illness which occurred after the commission of the offense and which permanently makes it impossible to understand the meaning of criminal prosecution, is one of the legal grounds for the inadmissibility of prosecutions. Such prosecutions cannot be continued and must be stopped. Police could have Redl’s mental state reviewed with a new psychiatric report. According to the Criminal Procedure Code, the court may, at the request of the public prosecutor, order that the accused be so observed in a medical institution or – while in custody – in a special section of the prison.
Restrictions on autonomy regulated by the Civil Code. The court may take this step only if the person would otherwise be in danger of serious harm and if milder and less restrictive measures are not sufficient. He then limits his self-righteousness to the extent to which he is unable to act legally due to a temporary mental disorder. “If the circumstances change, the court will immediately change or annul its decision, even without a motion“States the law.
A person with limited discretion has a court-appointed guardian, but can act independently in ordinary matters of daily life. The court may limit jurisdiction to a maximum of three years. “If it is clear that the person’s condition will not improve at this time, the court may limit the arbitration to a longer period, but not longer than five years., “Stands in the Code. This period can then be extended.
13 accused
According to last week, the National Headquarters wanted to charge a total of 13 people against organized crime in the case of corruption in a transport company, but it found only ten of them. One of them is now the former Deputy Mayor of Prague Petr Hlubuček (STAN), who, like Redl, ended up in custody. The eleventh suspect, businessman and Redl’s close associate Pavel Kos, reported to the police on Sunday, according to Radiožurnál. The remaining two suspects – ex-manager of the transport company Matej Augustín and businessman Pavel Dovhomilja – were abroad at the time of the raid.
The case led to the resignation of the Minister of Education Petr Gazdík (STAN), who was in contact with Redl. MEP Stanislav Polčák suspended membership in the STAN movement due to his acquaintance with Redl.
