Missing dean of Plzeň law school found in North Bohemia

The dean of the West Bohemian University law school, Květoslav Růžička, who was reported missing on Friday morning, has been found in North Bohemia, local police have said. A passer-by recognized Mr Růžička by the roadside in the district of Varnsdorf and reported him to the police. Police say it is as yet unclear how Mr Růžička got there. The 65-year-old man is now undergoing medical tests. Mr Růžička has headed the law faculty since October 2010. The Plzeň law school’s doctoral programme was recently suspended as a result of continuing fallout in the wake of a plagiarism and corruption scandal. Mr Růžička has also been involved with the ongoing lawsuit between the company Diag Human and the Czech state, in which he was an arbitrator.
