František Mrázek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Czech ice hockey player, see František Mrázek (ice hockey).
František Mrázek (csⓘ) (1 February 1958 – 25 January 2006 in Prague) was a controversial Czech entrepreneur, often referred to as the "Godfather of Czech Organized Crime".[1] Mrázek covertly influenced Czech politics for almost twenty years.[1][2][3] In 2006 he was assassinated by a (still unknown) sniper. Most of the publicly available information about his criminal activities and contacts with the politicians leaked from police archives (which include wiretapping records and Mrázek's own collection of blackmail material) after his death. These sources suspect he was involved in over 30 murders.[4]
