a 10 second google search or clicking on translate will work well enough.
I'm not familiar with Czech law, either. But We're all familiar with corruption and paying off legal issues with money .

the fact that you've heard nothing about it for years means exactly what it sounds like - it has been settled privately, but nit so much that it caused news agencies to redact the reporting.
...
Hmm, so your 10 second google search revealed exactly the same
old news articles I was referring to in my first post. As a janitor, you should know that there is nothing as outdated as the papers from yesterday. ;-)
And sorry, no, I disagree with your overly willing assumption of corruption. I don't know where you live, and whether what you say is true there. But to assume it was the case just because it's Czechia or because it was like that everywhere is just offensive.
In some countries where the law system derives from the old English law, money can indeed buy you out of more things than in the more codified law systems of continental Europe. Things like NDAs and other private agreements are much less regulated in the former than in the latter (we all know how a certain orange creature uses that to his advantage, don't we...). This is true for private agreements, but as well for simple things like a rental contract. Where I live, your rental contract can be surprisingly short, because most of the details are covered in standard legal norms, and only if you want to deviate from them, you would add that to the contract. Also, there are norms that are absolutely binding and cannot be deviated from in order to keep the balance between both parties and not give one an unfair advantage. But this is private law and
not criminal law. In the case in question, it was a criminal prosecution.
In that regard, I would speculate that Czechia has a similar system to other European countries where a criminal case is separate from the civil case where it's about compensations and the said private agreements, but not as separate as in the US. Just remember the case of OJ Simpson, where he was acquitted of the ****** in the criminal case but where he still had to pay compensation in the civil case because he was practically convicted for the ****** he was acquitted in the other case. So, in a nutshell, whether there were private agreements does not necessarily have an impact on the criminal case in the European law systems I know. Money can't buy your way out of the court room there as easily. Whether it's the same in Czechia, I don't know. The more reason to find out how it went.
And there is no way that there was no court statements, publications, or documents. A case cannot be closed without that. These are legal norms everywhere. There must be a case number, and there must be a space where the rulings etc. are available to the public. After all, it's not a secret court. The problem is that if it's not in English or another widely spoken language, the search engines won't list it prominently enough to find it with a reasonable effort. Of course, the closing of the case was certainly not as spectacular as the opening with the raid, but there will always be some reporting, even if it's only in specialized journals.
So my question still stands, and maybe somebody from Czechia can provide some primary sources someday.
