The corruption case is at its peak. Berber’s acquaintance has dark thoughts

And it was one of the last possibilities when Roman Rogoz could say something about the whole affair. However, the former sports manager of Vyšehrad surprised the entire courtroom. “I know that I should direct my closing speech to deeds. But due to the health condition and the possibilities of expression I will be brief,” Berber’s friend Rogoz testified, as reported by Sport.

Rogoz’s short speech

“I don’t want to say who was more or less right. I was devastated by the prosecutor’s sentencing proposal. The thoughts that run through my head are black. I can’t put them right nowI’ll try to say everything on Friday,” said Rogoz, who previously said he suffered a stroke in 2021.

Prosecutor Jan Scholle is demanding 7.5 years in a maximum security prison for Rogoz for bribery, aiding embezzlement or participation in an organized criminal group. In addition, a fine of 350 thousand crowns. It is a proposal for a summary sentence. Rogoz was already legally convicted in January. And that for fraud in the case of manipulation of orders from Czech Railways for replacement bus transport for two years with a three-year probationary period and a fine of 350,000.

Defense attorney: It would be the death penalty

One of the main characters in the Cockroach case will try to summarize everything in today’s last word. At the last trial, his defense attorney Oldřich Chudoba had a long speech for this. “The proposed sentence for Rogoz would actually be the death penalty. The court has no evidence to say one hundred percent that this is a criminal. That there was a criminal group here,” said Chudoba, who is seeking acquittal for his client.

Roman Berbr, whose sharp words we also wrote about on SportechŽiv, will also give his final speech today. The public prosecutor proposes a sentence for him for bribery, aiding and abetting bribery, embezzlement, participation in an organized criminal group in the amount of 7 years in a prison with security. Furthermore, a fine of 5,550,000 crowns and a ban on exercising the function of a statutory body of a business corporation for a period of 5 years. The judge may decide today. In any case, the sentence for Berber and Rogoz will be heard at the Pilsen District Court on Wednesday, June 19.
