Prague Castle underpants stunt costed at 100,000 crowns

Damage from the stunt raising a large pair of red underpants over Prague castle by the guerrilla art group, Ztohoven, totalled 100,000 crowns, presidential spokesman Jiří Ovčáček said on Saturday. The spokesman gave the news on Twitter without giving further details. The artists, posing as chimney sweeps, got past security to climb onto the roof of the castle, lower the presidential standard and raise the underpants last week. They said the stunt was aimed at putting the spotlight on head of state Miloš Zeman’s alleged lack of values and attempts to cultivate links with Russia and China.
