The theory regarding his role in the organised group
The case description refers to the organisation of the import, export, storage, distribution and sale of drugs. In addition to European destinations, Lebanon and Russia are also mentioned. The same case file also mentions the illicit trafficking of cigarettes; however, the sizes of the consignments and the specific incidents are not disclosed in the brief profile. [1]
The search is based on a European arrest warrant issued by a competent judicial authority in the Czech Republic. The list of countries reflects the group’s geographical scope as described by law enforcement agencies; it does not imply that Kováč is currently in each of these countries. [1]
Discrepancies within the official profile
At the time of verification, the structured field indicates a 23-year prison sentence, whilst the text of the case file retains the previous wording regarding a possible 18-year sentence. These figures cannot be interpreted as two consistent sentences. Until a court order is received, the exact sentence is not recorded in the file as an indisputable fact. [1]
