Perpetrator of leak of police wiretappings not found
She said that no policeman would be charged in connection with the leak.
A police team that is investigating the possibility of the state attorneys to be responsible for the leak has not yet completed the case, she said.
On Tuesday, the Interior Minister's Inspection shelved the case of the leak since it failed to find any reason for the launch of criminal prosecution, Matejusova said.
The criminal complaint in connection with the leak and the publication of the wiretapping of conversations between Civic Democrat (ODS) chairman and his aide Marek Dalik that appeared on the Aktualne.cz. news server, was filed by ODS's lawyer Petr Toman.
In 2004 the anti-corruption police unit accused Dalik and lobbyist Jan Vecerek of offering Koristka, on behalf of the then opposition ODS, ten million crowns and the post of Czech ambassador to Bulgaria, in exchange for voting against the new coalition government of Stanislav Gross (Social Democrats, CSSD) in the crucial confidence vote.
The state attorney first refused to approve taking the suspects into custody and then he stopped the prosecution altogether. Finally the case, in which Topolanek was also involved, was shelved.
Koristka insists that Dalik and Vecerek really wanted to bribe him on behalf of the ODS, while the two reject any accusation, pleading not guilty.
According to Aktualne.cz, the police wiretapping have proved no crime, but its certain parts suggest that Dalik and Vecerek were discussing with the ODS the strategy of their behaviour during the police questioning and sought the information about its course.
