Description
Šohaj Strážnice, one of the leading Czech textile companies, went bankrupt. All 200 employees were transferred to a company named Košulenka, whose owner is a former director of the bankrupt company. The case is under suspicion of tunnelling (fraud), because the management of the public utility is suspected to have illegally transferred the property to its own business. The future of all employees is uncertain because the agreement concluded between the company Košulenka and the main customer will expire at the end of November 2006.
