News site: Police launch new investigation into murders linked to late crime boss Mrázek

Prague police have launched a fresh investigation into cases of violent and unexplained deaths linked to František Mrázek, a reputed crime boss whose own killing in 2006 has never been solved, Novinky.cz reported on Thursday. The news site said the investigation concerned 14 murders, including that of Mrázek himself. Novinky said that no official investigation had yet been launched, which meant that a police team specialising in reopening old cases was not at present acting under the supervision of the state attorney’s office.
