The Russian government has strongly denied accusations in the Czech media that it dispatched an assassin to Prague to kill two leading Czech politicians.
The denial was issued by the Kremlin a
day after Prague mayor Zdeněk Hřib said he had been placed under 24/7
police protection because of fears his life could be in danger.
On Sunday, the Czech weekly investigative magazine Respekt reported that a Russian assassination plot had been underway earlier in April. Citing “sources in Czech intelligence”, Respect
said a Russian citizen carrying a diplomatic passport had arrived in
Prague in early April. The man was allegedly had with him a suitcase
with a concealed quantity of ricin —a deadly toxin. His alleged mission
was to assassinate at least two high-profile Czech mayors, Prague mayor
Zdeněk Hřib and Ondřej Kolář, who is the mayor of a large municipality
in the Czech capital.
The two men are known for being fervently
anti-Russian. Earlier this year, Hřib led a nationwide effort to rename
the square in front of the Russian Embassy in Prague after Boris
Nemtsov, a Russian opposition activist who was gunned down in Moscow in
2015. Kolář has been advocating for years for the removal of Soviet-era
statues from Prague’s public spaces.
According to Respekt Hřib filed a
police complaint during the first week of April, alleging that someone
had been following him near his residence. He was then placed under
police protection, after —according to him— the police determined that
his complaint was grounded in reality. He has since refused to state the
precise reasons for the police protection —which means that the
allegations in Respekt remain unconfirmed.
On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the Respekt
allegations as “fake”. He added that the Russian government “doesn’t
know anything at all about this [police] investigation” in Prague.
However, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday that “there would be consequences” if the two men were harmed in the coming weeks.
