Krejcir guilty of fraud, attempted murder in Czech Republic

Johannesburg - Radovan Krejcir has been found guilty of fraud and attempted murder in the Czech Republic, it was reported on Friday. He has been sentenced to 15 years in jail for the crimes.

The conviction related to defrauding a state-owned oil company and a plot to murder a customs official who turned on him, Eyewitness News reporter Mandy Wiener tweeted.
