At Monday’s meeting, the Prague opposition unsuccessfully proposed the dismissal of Mayor Zdeněk Hřiba (Pirates). Representative Patrik Nacher (YES) justified his proposal by saying that Hřib, next to the municipality, with his deputy Petr Hlubuček (formerly STAN), now accused in the Dosimeter case in connection with alleged corruption in a transport company. 17 out of 65 deputies voted for the dismissal of Hřiby. The opposition’s attempt to dismiss the mayor’s deputy for transport, Adam Scheinherr (Prague himself), was also a failure, with 20 out of 65 deputies voting in favor.
“I was not summoned to give an explanation, on the contrary, I went to the police and filed a criminal complaint,” said Scheinherr
Police officers from the National Headquarters accused more than a dozen people against organized crime for managing the transport company, in addition to Hlubučka also entrepreneur Michal Redl, former member of the board of transport company Matej Augustín and other members of the company’s management.
The opposition accused Scheinherr of having filed a criminal complaint in the spring of 2020 for possible corruption in the transport company, but did not take further personnel steps and did not put in place sufficient measures in the company. According to representatives of the ODS and YES so close in the company to do other dishonesty. Scheinherr rejected the criticism and said that it was he who, on the first suspicion, turned to the police, with whom he subsequently cooperated.
For many hours, the deputies argued over who had installed or helped install the accused and now a former member of the supervisory board of the transport company Augustina. The coalition with the opposition subsequently criticized some steps from the past. Opposition representative Ondřej Prokop (YES) subsequently proposed Scheinherr’s dismissal. All present opposition representatives voted in favor, joined by coalition councilor Hana Kordová Marvanová (for STAN).
Some opposition officials also said they did not trust Scheinherr to file a criminal complaint on his own. According to Deputy Radomír Nepil (YES), he went to give an explanation to the police, and it all ended up with a criminal complaint. Scheinherr called it a fairy tale and nonsense. “I was not summoned to give an explanation, on the contrary, I went to the police and filed a criminal complaint,” he said Adam Scheinherr.
The chairman of the ODS opposition representatives, Zdeněk Zajíček, suggested that four areas be selected to be audited. Among them were, for example, the so-called Nové Holešovice joint venture for construction in the vicinity of the Nádraží Holešovice metro station C, in whose bodies Augustín sat. Furthermore, to check the projects on Palmovka or to check whether the city and the transport company were damaged due to Dosimetr. “I’d like us to take faster action in our audits,” he said Zdeněk Zajíček.

The opposition also wanted to dismiss the mayor
They voted for the dismissal of the mayor as part of the material proposed by the opposition, which concerns IT contracts at the municipality. “We consider it necessary to investigate the conclusion of contracts with entities connected to persons accused in the case of a transport company,” said an opposition representative on IT contracts Tomáš Portlík (ODS). He added that some municipal contracts in informatics in recent years have been accompanied by ambiguities, such as suspicions of division of contracts or preference for certain companies.
The companies ADVICE.CZ Solutions and Information Systems Factory Group, owned by Dovhomilja and Uniprog Solutions, headed by Jančovič, were the suppliers in the contracts in question. Most of the orders were placed by the municipality, some by the city company ICT Operator. In addition to audits at the municipality, deputies instructed councils to ensure similar audits in municipal contributory organizations.
The informatics is under the responsibility of the mayor at the municipality, according to which, for example, it was assigned to ADVICE.CZ Solutions in the last election period, and the Pirates terminated it. He added that the Dosimeter case did not, according to the available information, concern any orders from the municipality. He added, however, that I was talking to the company of the people accused in connection with the transport company’s case, although he criticized the opposition regarding the Pirates’ action.
