“Convicted J.P. was handed over by the police of the Czech Republic to serve his sentence on the basis of an order to serve his sentence,” said Eva Shviglerova, press secretary of the District Court of Prague 1.
Popelka called for the destruction of Ukrainian flags last March at an anti-government demonstration in Prague. In addition to a four-month suspended sentence, the court also banned him from being in the capital for a year and a half for incitement. He violated this ban, for which in June of this year the court sent him to prison for two months.
He denied the flag allegations. He insisted that he had committed a misdemeanor at most. But, according to the court, he should have known that he was encouraging conduct that could not be accomplished other than by force.
In connection with the March demonstration last year, the police opened several cases. The district court must consider the case of a man who, according to the police, damaged a car with Ukrainian license plates after the demonstration. In mid-May, he sentenced a 31-year-old man to a six-month suspended prison term for publicly endorsing war crimes.
According to the verdict, he was wearing chevrons with the letter Z and the logo of the Russian PVK “Wagner”, which he wore at the demonstration. The court also banned the man from staying in Prague for a year, and he must pay a fine of 12,000 crowns.
