Czech president signs amendment on special police agents
Prague- Czech President Vaclav Klaus today signed an amendment to the penal law that enables the police to use special agents to help uncover corruption.

So far the police can use agents only in the investigation into the most serious crimes on the basis of an international agreement.

The new legislation allows for such an agent's operation during the investigation into bribery suspicion as well.

However, the law will not introduce agent-provocateurs or enable to use civilians as agents. Such a police agent will only collect information and evidence in the corruption environment.

"The anti-corruption agent is to infiltrate the environment where a corruption suspicion emerges, map it, uncover crimes and gather evidence under cover," Interior Minister Ivan Langer (senior ruling Civic Democrats, ODS) said previously.

The anti-corruption agents will be used under strict rules.

Only an attorney from the High State Attorney's Office can apply for this method to be used and a High Court judge must approve it for clearly specified reasons and time.

It must also be specified how the agent can be identified.
