The Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis was declared a willing collaborator of the Czechoslovak StB (State Security) by a Slovak court in Bratislava (he is of Slovak origin). Babis had insisted that he was blackmailed into being an agent, otherwise he would not be able to travel abroad and his children would not get a good education. The court decided that his cooperation was voluntary.

Communist past returns to haunt embattled Czech PM
Babis is the second richest man in the Czech Republic, and somewhat of a Czech Trump because of his stance on immigration, despite being a Slovak. He is suspected of defrauding the EU of 2 million Euros and other corruption charges.
