Lawmakers in the lower house of the Czech Parliament were set to decide on Thursday whether to lift Prime Minister Andrej Babiš ’ immunity from prosecution in a $2 million fraud case involving European Union subsidies.
The approval would allow Prague’s Municipal Court to deal with the case and issue a verdict. The court had acquitted Babiš twice before but an appeals court canceled those rulings, saying they did not properly assess evidence and requested the lower court issue a guilty verdict in a retrial.
