Prague State Attorney Pavel \u0160aroch, who halted the investigation into\nsuspected EU subsidy fraud involving Prime Minister Andrej Babi\u0161 and\nmembers of his family, has said he did not come under any political\npressure in making the decision, although at first the media pressure\nsurrounding the high-profile case was considerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview for Czech Radio, State Attorney \u0160aroch said work on the\ncase had been intensive but standard in every way. He said the reason why\nhe had halted the case was that there was simply not enough evidence to\nindicate criminal activity on the part of those charged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His superior, Chief Prague State Attorney Martin Erazim, upheld \u0160aroch\u2019s decision a few days later. That decision may still be invalidated by the Supreme State Attorney Pavel Zeman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
