The Czech Republic’s Defence Minister, Martin Bartak, denied on the 22 February 2010 being involved with the former managers of Austria’s Steyr, who alleged earlier that the company’s deal to sell the Czechs armoured personnel carriers was lubricated with commissions for top officials.

The allegations of corruption came at an extremely sensitive time for Czech politicians as the country is gearing up for parliamentary elections in May 2010
