This week saw the culmination of one of the Czech Republic's most closely observed court cases in recent years. One of Communist Czechoslovakia's most prominent political figures, the former Prime Minister, Lubomir Strougal, faced up to 10 years in jail in connection with three brutal murders by the Communist secret police, the StB in 1948. Mr Strougal was charged with abuse of power, blocking the investigation into the murders when he was Interior Minister in 1965. But as reports the case ended in anti-climax.
