ARRESTED Police announced Feb. 1 that they have arrested a 35-year-old man they believe coerced at least 35 underage boys into having sex with him. The man is accused of finding the boys on Lide.cz and promising them gifts in return for nude photos. He would then use the photos to blackmail them into sex, Czech News Agency (ČTK) reported.

SENTENCED Prague’s High Court sentenced Rostislav Roztočil Feb. 5 to 13 years in prison for the murder of an Egyptian student more than 30 years ago, ČTK reported. A lower court had sentenced Roztočil in June and the high court upheld it. Roztočil had escaped from a Plzeň prison in 2005, saying he was innocent of the crime.
THEFT Police are establishing a special team to investigate car theft across the country in order to break up international automotive mafias, Hospodářské noviny reported Feb. 5. More than 50 cars a day are stolen in the Czech Republic, usually ending up in auto graveyards and chop shops owned by gangs, the paper reported.
MARCH Neo-Nazis announced Feb. 4 that they intend to march through Plzeň March 1, ČTK reported. The original march had been scheduled for Jan. 19 but was banned by the town’s mayor. A regional court ruled Feb. 1 that the ban was unjust. An organizer said the march was in reaction to a November ban on a similar Prague march.
KOSOVO An Army company of 116 soldiers is going to be sent to Kosovo in anticipation of the region’s expected declaration of independence from Serbia, the Czech military general staff told ČTK Feb. 4. The deployment would bring the number of Czech troops in Kosovo to more than 500.
