Threats against Czech president prompt police investigation

The Czech president’s office has been receiving letters containing insults and threats, some of which are addressed to President Petr Pavel, iDNES reports.

“We are investigating two such cases. One was recorded in February 2026, and the other in June this year,” police spokesperson Jan Daněk told the outlet.

According to Daněk, the suspects could face criminal charges for making threats intended to influence a public official, an offense punishable by up to three years in prison.
