The Pilsen District Court punished the foreigner for the first attack on June 14, 2024. In addition to the condition, the man was ordered to leave the Czech Republic within three days of his release from custody, which occurred on the same day. But the man did not travel anywhere, he stayed in different parts of the Czech Republic and finally landed in the Highlands. There, on September 16, 2024, he got into a conflict with another guest in a local pub in one of the municipalities.
“After a previous verbal dispute, he first punched the victim in the facial part of the head, as a result of which the victim lost his stability and fell backwards uncontrollably, then he approached the victim who was already lying motionless and kicked the victim at least three times in the head area and stomped on his head at least once,” the indictment described his rampage.
Apparently, the foreigner intended to continue the attack, because he began to poke at the lifeless man, but fortunately other guests of the restaurant drove him away from the victim. The stranger then fled and hid for nine long months.
It is not in the interest of the state to have such people here
At the Brno Regional Court, according to his verdict from the end of the year, which Novinky has available, the man did not deny it. “He told his person that he is not aggressive, but if someone annoys him, he can punch him,” the verdict reads.
The Senate, led by Soňa Nováčková, eventually sent the man to prison for 5.5 years and added to that an indefinite banishment. “The defendant was not deterred from committing a criminal activity even by a previous conviction, namely an alternative sentence in the form of a suspended sentence,” Nováčková recalled.
“The court came to the conclusion that the conditions for imposing the penalty of deportation for an indefinite period are met, as it is not in the interest of this state for foreign nationals to be located here without respect for legal regulations, moreover, when criminal activity is repeatedly committed here, and there is therefore a significant risk of endangering the safety of people, property and the general interest,” added Judge Nováčková.
