Committee to meet over detained military intelligence officer

A meeting of the Permanent Control Committee on Military Intelligence will take place in the Lower House on Friday over the case of a military intelligence officer who was allegedly surveilling the villa of interior minister Milan Chovanec. The news website SeznamZpravy.cz reported on Wednesday that a military intelligence officer was arrested in Prague last week while taking photographs in the vicinity of a villa belonging to the Ministry of the Interior and used by Mr Chovanec. The head of military intelligence, Jan Beroun, has strongly denied speculation about his agents surveilling the house.
