Thanks. Here is a new development for you.

From the institute overseeing the files of the former Czechoslovak secret service, a sensational revelation came out about Ján Slota, the far-right leader.

Slota's father became a secret service informant in the seventies. He offered up his services for something in return: the deletion of Ján Slota's criminal files! For young Ján Slota was part of a gang of robbers. They started by robbing shops and fuel stations. Then they fled to Austria, and continued with car-jacking. Young Ján Slota fled Austrian police back home only days later, but his former accomplices continued with even a train robbery, and one of them ended up with his head cut in some underworld war.

And now comes the true Central European element: Slota has now submitted a motion in parliament for the dissolution of the institute managing the secret service files!!!
