Latest insights from criminal law practice and our firm.
19 August 2025
White powder scandal (politician and unknown substance)
Legal experts noted that ordinary citizens found with similar evidence would at least be questioned by police. Passing a cannabis joint counts as distribution – everyone is equal before the law.
3 September 2025
Rapper charged with supporting terrorism
A Czech rapper was charged under § 312e of the Criminal Code after a music video showed a tattoo of Osama bin Laden. Liability depends on context and intent – the mere appearance of the tattoo is not enough.
14 October 2025
Courts without funds
Czech courts suffered a cash shortage – one regional court's account contained only seven crowns. Experts, ex-officio defence lawyers and interpreters could not be paid on time, threatening the credibility of the judiciary.
28 November 2025
Identity of the act
Supreme Court resolution 8 Tdo 771/2020: the identity of the act is preserved if the identity of either the conduct or the consequence is maintained. The court is not bound by the wording or legal qualification in the indictment.
15 December 2025
Intercepted dark-web drug package
If a package containing drugs ordered via the dark web has been intercepted by authorities, immediate legal assistance is essential. Contact us for advice on your specific situation.
8 January 2026
Hacking Facebook as a criminal offence
Supreme Court resolution 3 Tdo 74/2023: unauthorized access to a Facebook account – reading messages and confronting the victim with private data – constitutes computer espionage under § 230 of the Criminal Code. No actual property damage is required.
22 January 2026
Cannabinoid significant extent
A significant extent for cannabis means over 100 g THC or over 1 kg dried plant. One defendant imported and stored 332.4 g THC – exceeding the threshold under § 283(2)(c) of the Criminal Code.
10 February 2026
Cannabinoid large extent
Supreme Court decision: the "great extent" threshold for cannabis is met when THC exceeds 1,000 g or dried cannabis exceeds 10,000 g. In one case defendants possessed over 17.5 kg of dried cannabis containing 1,503 g THC.
1 October 2024
Self-supply, cultivation of cannabis and production of marijuana/THC
Supreme Court resolution 11 Tdo 840/2023: mere cultivation of cannabis is not yet production of a narcotic. Production occurs only when plants are harvested and processed into dried marijuana or THC.
21 December 2024
Credibility of the victim in a rape case
Contradictions between pre-trial and trial statements raised doubts about the complainant's credibility. The court also found it implausible that the alleged acts occurred unnoticed in a busy apartment – contributing to an acquittal.
20 December 2024
Exploitation of prostitution conducted by another person
Supreme Court resolution 6 Tz 26/77: for the offence of pimping, the offender does not need to explicitly demand payment – repeated acceptance of payment for enabling the prostitution is enough.
19 December 2024
Pimping (pimp, protector, driver, landlord)
The purpose of criminalising pimping is to protect morality and personal freedom. The offence requires repeated financial benefit from another's prostitution – even minor forms of assistance such as driving or renting rooms.
18 December 2024
Procuring another to engage in prostitution
Procuring involves agreeing on the conditions and profit-sharing of prostitution. Any form of financial gain derived from a sex worker's activity – by a pimp, driver, bodyguard or landlord – constitutes exploitation.
17 December 2024
What constitutes prostitution?
The crime of procuring under § 189 of the Criminal Code hinges on an agreement – express or implied – between the pimp and the person engaging in prostitution. The essence is consensual sexual intercourse for payment.
16 December 2024
Commission of a drug offence connected with an organised group active in multiple states
Collaborating with an organised group whose distribution and courier operations span different countries triggers the enhanced penalty under § 283(3)(c) of the Criminal Code.
15 December 2024
Organised group active in multiple states (drug offences)
An organised group requires at least three people who divide tasks and coordinate actions. If drug distribution occurs across two or more countries, the qualifying element of activity in multiple states is met.
14 December 2024
Storing chemicals for meth production
Preparatory acts for illegal drug production include storing chemicals and equipment to manufacture methamphetamine – even if the offender possesses only one key chemical.
13 December 2024
Assessing "significant extent" with multiple drugs
When a defendant handles several types of drugs, courts must examine whether the combined quantities warrant the stricter provision – not merely confirm that no single drug reached the threshold alone.
12 December 2024
Extraordinary reduction of imprisonment for a drug offender
Courts may reduce a prison sentence below the statutory range only in exceptional cases – a good reputation alone does not suffice. The Prague High Court examined this rule in a case involving an illegal cannabis grow facility.
11 December 2024
Importing methamphetamine from abroad
High Court decision: ordering pervitin from abroad via the internet and having it delivered by courier satisfies the element of import under § 283(1) of the Criminal Code – even if the offender never leaves the country.
