Former TOP 09 MP Dominik Feri left Teplice prison on Tuesday after 3:30 PM, after the local district court granted his request for conditional release. He served more than two-thirds of his three-year sentence, which he received for two rapes and one attempted rape. reflex.cz ↗

The court set a three-year probationary period and supervision of the convict. A condition of the release is also a non-public apology to the victims and completion of a resocialization program. State prosecutor Ondřej Langr proposed granting the request, stating that Feri had fulfilled the legal conditions. A psychologist from the prison stated that he is not dangerous to society. According to witnesses, he was among the model prisoners, received several commendations, and had no disciplinary infractions. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗

Feri justified his request by saying that he wants to lead a proper life and start a family. In court, he also stated that he now has different priorities and ambitions. According to available information, the court also assessed the change in his attitude compared to the January hearing, when it rejected his first request for conditional release. ihned.cz ↗

At the same time, proceedings continue at the European Court of Human Rights in this case. It is to rule on a complaint concerning the postponement of four cases connected to Feri. The Czech Ministry of Justice stated that it is defending the conduct of the national authorities in the matter. Further developments will thus depend both on compliance with the conditions of release and on the verdict of the court in Strasbourg. irozhlas.cz ↗
