Sazka, a Czech lottery company, has filed for bankruptcy and laid off about 100 people, representing about a quarter of its workforce (420 employees). The company is now managed by a bankruptcy trustee who intends to rationalise operations. The company's financial problems with debt repayment are linked with the construction of Prague Concert Hall O2 Arena.
