                  Seat of the Kapsch company in Prague, Czech Republic, on March 7, 2019. Detectives form the National Organised Crime Centre (NCOZ) suspect Anti-trust Office (UOHS) head Petr Rafaj and Kapsch Czech branch general director Karel Feix of corruption in connection with the Transport Ministry's toll contract, the Novinky.cz. server reported today, on March 7, 2019. Feix is cooperating with the police in the investigation into a criminal case, Kapsch spokesman David Simonik said. No one was detained or accused, he added. Kapsch has operated the toll system in the Czech Republic since 2007. The police are in the Kapsch seat, he confirmed. The police have been raiding the seat of the Kapsch firm in Prague-Karlin as well and other offices in the country since the morning. The NCOZ also intervened in the home of senior government ANO deputy head Jaroslav Faltynek today, but Faltynek's defence lawyer Josef Bartoncik said his client was not suspected of anything. The CzechToll/SkyToll consortium won a tender for a new toll operator in 2019. Kapsch challenged the tender result, but the UOHS confirmed the new contract's validity. Kapsch turned to court then.
