The police have probably caught the perpetrator who is responsible for smearing the rails of the line to Moldova on December 11. She pleaded guilty to a felony charge of public endangerment, according to a press release “Railway Employees”. According to the findings of the daily Zdopravy.cz, they are employees of the Czech Railways.

“If found guilty by court, he faces three to eight years in prison,” said police spokeswoman Ilona Gazdošová. According to her, the reason for the act was the person’s dissatisfaction with the change of carrier on this line. From the new timetable, Railway Capital and GW Train Regio took over the operation on the line from České drah.

The first of them struggled with a slippery track, smearing of the tracks appeared near the village of Hrob at about 80 meters. “Therefore, someone caused a general danger, as a train set with passengers passed through the place, which the driver could not brake, and this could lead to its derailment.” according to the police.

Stones were later placed on the same track, in which case the police are still investigating.

“We do not have more detailed information about the conclusions of the police investigation, but we absolutely condemn such behavior and as a company we have absolutely nothing to do with it,” said Czech Railways spokeswoman Vanda Rajnochová.
