The police have arrested a 27 year old man who leaked photos of Skoda's latest model Superb to the press before its official unveiling. The man who took the photos and sold them to Blesk, the country's most popular tabloid newspaper, is said to have been an external employee at the plant. He took the photographs on the production line using his mobile phone and sold them to Blesk for a mere twenty thousand crowns. Although photos of new Skoda models have been leaked to the press in the past they were always taken during trial runs outside the factory gates. This is the first case of industrial espionage which the police have cracked and the employee responsible could spend up to 2 years in jail for it.

And 20,000 Crowns is how much?

About 38 to the £.

I went to the Mlada Boleslav factory last week and they'll only let you onto a viewing area to watch the line. The guide told us that the dashboards are assembled by Siemens staff prior to installation which is what the picture shows so perhaps he was an an empoloyee of theirs.
