A criminal group made up of seven Romanian citizens has been arrested for the murder of an 80-year-old man in Prague, having links to dozens of violent crimes.

The group members have been apprehended both in the Czech Republic and in Romania and Hungary, being accused of murder and violent robberies. The victim, Josef C., was found tied up and covered in blood, and his home had been ransacked. The gang targeted victims through offers of repair services or direct attacks. Two suspects face sentences of up to 20 years in prison, while the others are accused of organized group robbery. The investigation continues, with suspicions of involvement in other crimes in Austria.
