Prague ANO leader and mayoral candidate Ondřej Prokop continues to face a case involving three cooperative apartments that he did not list in his mandatory asset declaration. After several days, he publicly explained his financial situation and defended the apartment purchases as legal. According to available information, he is prepared to pay a fine for the error in the declaration. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗

Prokop stated that in addition to the three disputed cooperative apartments, he also owns other properties, including a family house, a total of six apartments, and a garage. He admitted the error in the asset declaration, but at the same time denies having engaged in any unlawful conduct in acquiring the assets. He claims he earned the money for the apartments and wants to explain his situation. novinky.cz ↗

ANO chairman Andrej Babiš made it clear that he is unhappy about the case and was waiting for Prokop's explanation. According to published information, the movement is internally discussing whether Prokop will remain the Prague leader. ANO MP Monika Rázga has been mentioned as a possible replacement. The Pirates and Praha sobě had already announced earlier that they would propose Prokop's removal from the position of chairman of the Prague city assembly's control committee. respekt.cz ↗

The case comes at a time when further cases related to housing are emerging around ANO politicians and people in their circles. Further developments will depend on whether Prokop's explanation convinces the movement's leadership and the Prague city councillors, and whether he retains his position as mayoral candidate. lidovky.cz ↗
