Court: Kajinek not to be transferred to lower security prison

A court in Šumperk on Thursday turned down a request from Jiří Kájínek, the country’s most notorious criminal, who is serving a life sentence for double murder, to be transferred to a lower security prison. Mr. Kájínek, who pleaded innocent and claims he was framed by the police, has twice failed in appeals to the Constitutional Court to have his case reopened. He is serving his sentence at the maximum security prison in Mírov, north Moravia, which he managed to escape from in 2000.
