Filip Grznár acquitted of praising the war

At the end of March you may have seen an article in which we informed you that former bodybuilder Filip Grznár approved of the war in Ukraine and even claimed that he hoped the war would come to the Czech Republic. On the basis of this, Filip was investigated by the police in order to investigate the whole situation. Ivana Hostašová, the head of the Pilsen prosecutor's office, told the daily Právo that the prosecutor cancelled the criminal prosecution of Filip Grznár.

According to Hostašová, Filip did not directly support the war in Ukraine.

"He used it to make himself visible and to implement his violent ideas," Hostašová said.

The supervising prosecutor returned the case to the police, saying that, given some of the indiscriminate language in the recording, it could be a crime of disorderly conduct.

You can read exactly what Filip said below and even find the video footage below the quotes.

"It has one big advantage. There is no law in war. In war you can commit crimes like a madman, which I like, that's the dream. And only the strongest survive. I just want there to be a war in the Czech Republic, I just want Russia or whoever comes at us... I want war.

In short, war is actually the only freedom, because you know you can die at any time, and at the same time you know you can kill anybody, and that's just good. And that's the freedom I want... I want war in the Czech Republic and I'll do everything for it."

Czech Virus, the Czech brand that supported Grznár, ended its cooperation with Filip because of his support for the war. It announced its statement on social media as follows:

We strongly dissociate ourselves from Filip Grznar's statement, which has circulated on the Internet today. Our brand and all its members absolutely condemn the Russian aggression in Ukraine and fully support Ukraine. War absolutely does not belong in the modern world and we consider it a barbaric act. Based on the above, our brand is taking immediate steps to maintain our reputation. On behalf of Czech Virus, Patrik and Ondra, founders.
