Czech Prime Minister Stripped of Immunity. The Czech Parliament has voted to strip Prime Minister Andrej Babis of immunity, leaving him open to prosecution for fraud charges amounting to over US$ 2 million. Babis told lawmakers to revoke his immunity last week, Reuters reported. And he denies the fraud allegations against him and Jaroslav Faltynek, the deputy chairman of his ANO party. Babis is a billionaire—the second richest man in the Czech Republic—and faces police charges that he hid his company’s ownership of an upscale hotel complex so that it would qualify for millions of dollars’ worth of EU small-business subsidies.
