Ex-Škoda Holding top manager and later ČEZ chief Martin Roman (left) has admitted having had ties to offshore trusts in the Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands connected to the former Škoda Plzeň, which was sold to its managers; Prague lobbyist Ivo Rittig (center) has been linked to British Virgin Islands-registered firm Cokeville Assets Inc., which made tens of millions in ‘consulting’ fees on a contract signed by ex-DPP chief Martin Dvořák (right) — and power plant equipment maker Škoda Power. The daily MF Dnes has uncovered documents linking Cokeville to these deals now being investigated by the police.
Cokeville Assets Inc. — the offshore firm that made tens of millions for having brokered a contract between the Prague transport company (DPP) and a domestic printer to produce metro, tram and bus tickets, in an alleged “kickback” scheme — also earned a sizable commission for advising on the sale of Czech engineering giant Škoda Plzeň’s manufacturing unit, the daily Mladá fronta Dnes (MfD) reported Wednesday.
