Communist party stands by embattled Euro MP Ransdorf

Czech communist party MEP Miloslav Ransdorf met with party colleagues in
Prague on Tuesday morning in order to explain his arrest by Swiss
authorities last week. Mr. Ransdorf and three Slovak acquaintances were
detained in Zurich for attempted fraud after apparently attempting to
withdraw money from a Swiss bank account on December 3. Though no charges
have yet been brought against Ransdorf, many questions remain unanswered.
