Czech Railways CEO Michal Krapinec returned his security clearance at the Confidential level. According to available information, he justified the step by saying he does not need it for his work. However, Transport Minister Ivan Bednárik (SPD) considers the move unusual and wants to turn to the state carrier's supervisory board because of it. lidovky.cz ↗
The return of the clearance came after Krapinec, according to published information, spent almost a year dealing with inquiries from the National Security Authority. In connection with the proceedings, he reportedly spent dozens of hours explaining the circumstances that the authority was investigating. Czech Railways publicly states that this is the CEO's personal decision. ihned.cz ↗
A security clearance at the Confidential level entitles the holder to access selected classified information. According to the carrier's statement, Krapinec claims he does not need it to carry out his function. However, the Ministry of Transport wants to review the situation, since it concerns a top manager of a state-owned company. forum24.cz ↗
Further steps will depend on the minister's negotiations with the supervisory board of Czech Railways. The board may consider whether the return of the clearance represents a problem for the company's management, or whether it has no direct impact on the performance of the CEO's function. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
