“On May 29, Dr. Úlovcová handed me a copy of her resignation from the position of district public prosecutor, which she sent to the Ministry of Justice,” Maříková told Práva on Thursday.

According to her, she also received a written confirmation from the Ministry that the resignation of the head of the Pilsen district prosecutors had been received at the beginning of June, and that her position would therefore expire on 31 July.

She will remain a plaintiff
From August, she will be only an ordinary prosecutor, whom she was appointed in 1994. Her superior, the Pilsen regional public prosecutor, logically followed the reasons for this step by Úlovcová.

“She told me she had serious family reasons for the resignation. When I asked them, she told me that my son had been taken into custody in Prague due to a tax cut, and that she therefore inferred personal responsibility and resigned from office. It’s very bad of that, “said Maříková.

According to Práva, the catch ended in custody on May 26 due to an allegedly large-scale economic case and allegedly within an organized criminal group. There are a total of ten accused in it and the seriousness of the case is evidenced by the fact that they all ended up behind the bars of remand prisons, according to the editors’ findings.

According to its spokeswoman Iva Chaloupková, the Czech Bar Association is informed about the criminal prosecution of Úlovce. “By taking him into custody, his advocacy was automatically suspended. He has an appointed representative who will take on obligations to his clients, “Chaloupková told Práva. If the Catcher is convicted of an unconditional sentence, he has definitively ceased as a lawyer.
