Late last year, the Tax Office fined NS 40 million crowns citing the same reason. The Justice Ministry has criticised the NS for having withheld the information on the previous as well as the latest fine. "When ways to solve the problem of the 40 million fine were debated [recently], the NS must have already known that it faces another fine worth 9 million," Nova.cz quotes Justice Ministry spokeswoman Zuzana Kuncova as saying. NS chairwoman Iva Brozova insists she has acted in accordance with law.

The Finance Ministry rejected her request in the previous case, a decision Brozova immediately challenged, lodging a complaint with the Administrative Court. Brozova herself faces disciplinary proceedings Justice Minister Jiri Pospisil (Civic Democrats, ODS) has initiated against her in connection with her withholding of previous fine. In December Brozova, who last year thwarted President Vaclav Klaus's (close to the ODS) attempt to dismiss her as NS head, said that Pospisil's proposal that disciplinary proceedings be launched against her is nothing but the continuation of the efforts to unseat her.
