The Olomouc branch of the Ostrava Regional Court recently overturned the decision of the Ministry of Finance, according to which Clever Management does not have to return the six million EU subsidy. The ministry will probably deal with the case again. The original decision was issued by the ministry when it was headed by Alena Schillerová (ANO).
According to the server, in addition to the company, the appeals financial directorate also filed the cassation complaint. The spokeswoman of the Supreme Administrative Court, Sylva Dostálová, confirmed this to the website.

The subsidy for the boarding house was allocated to Mynář’s company Clever Management by the office of the Regional Council of the Central Moravian Cohesion Region, which administers the distribution of part of the EU subsidies. After an inspection of the funding, in which it encountered doubts, the authority asked the police to verify the subsidy. According to the office, Clever Management, contrary to the instructions, did not state in the subsidy application that the building was previously subsidized by the Ministry of Education. In February 2021, the police charged Mynar with the crime of damaging the financial interests of the European Union.
The Olomouc court dealt with the case after the supreme prosecutor Igor Stříž approached it about the subsidy. He was invited to file a lawsuit by the Regional Council of the Central Moravian Cohesion Region, which originally provided the subsidy. She demanded its return because new facts came to light that questioned its award.
After filing the lawsuit, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office said that the ministry’s decision, which made it impossible to return the subsidy, was, in their opinion, illegal. At the same time, according to the head of the prosecutors, in this case there was also a serious public interest in having this decision reviewed by the court.
In its decision, the Ministry of Finance justified that it sided with the Clever Management company, among other things, because there was a mistake on the side of the subsidy office in the decision on the subsidy. Moreover, according to him, it was not a case of such serious misconduct that the support had to be returned. However, the Regional Council of the Central Moravian Cohesion Region did not agree to this in the initiative it previously sent to the supreme prosecutor.
