Czech General Kovanda Arrested
Neccova was collaborating with people from the Jehovah's Witnesses
Speaking through his lawyer, General Kovanda, who was also arrested, said he believed at the time the operation to follow the prime minister's wife was in the interests of national security.
But his orders came from Ms Nagyova, rather than his superiors in the defence ministry...
Police accuse Ms Nagyova of asking military spies to tail Mr Necas's estranged wife. It is thought she cajoled friends in Czech military intelligence to find incriminating information on Mrs Necasova.
Eduard Bruna, Ms Nagyova's lawyer, has denied this, saying his client was worried the prime minister's wife had fallen under the influence of Jehovah's Witnesses.
"Necesova was collaborating with people from the Jehovah's Witnesses, and had begun to collect money for presents for some people," said Mr Bruna. "My client thought this merited an investigation and surveillance.
