Document 341 - Written Interpellation by J. Černochová to J. Zůna concerning Serious Misconduct and Financial Losses in the Procurement of MADR Radar Systems

Scope: Section 112; pages 1–8.

The written interpellation addresses the Ministry of Defense’s potentially wasteful conduct in customs and tax proceedings related to the purchase of MADR radars, with reported losses and payments totaling over 86 million CZK. The Ministry filed an appeal against the tax authority’s decision but has already paid the assessed penalty, as the appeal does not have suspensive effect. The liability of the supplier and other involved parties is still under investigation, and the Ministry is negotiating with the Israeli Ministry of Defense regarding reimbursement of costs and potential contractual penalties. According to the minister, the issue did not hinder the acceptance, testing, or integration of the radars into military systems; it was primarily an administrative and financial matter.
