Prague’s mayor has named a Czech-American businessman Vladimír Lich as de facto director general of DPP — the Czech capital’s scandal-ridden public transport firm — for a two-year term. Under Lich’s leadership as “crisis manager,” all cases of alleged dodgy deals are to investigated in tandem with a broader review of how DPP has allocated public funds and contracted. Lich worked in global consultancy A.T. Kearney’s Czech office from 1989 until last year.
