Luxurious life despite insolvency. Oldřich Přikryl is allegedly hiding assets worth millions

The editors of AKTU.cz report findings about businessman Oldřich Přikryl (1961), who, despite ongoing insolvency proceedings, is suspected of extensive financial fraud. According to our information, he lures large sums of money from various people, mostly acquaintances. Several documented cases show these were loans amounting to millions of koruna that Přikryl has not yet repaid.

Despite the official insolvency, Přikryl lives in high style and, according to our findings, hides assets worth at least the lower tens of millions of koruna. Traces of suspicious transfers also lead to his daughter Lucie Špot Přikrylová, who in 2017 — still a student — acquired a business share in the company Levinhor s.r.o. for only 20 thousand koruna. Half a year later she sold that share for an astonishing 50 million koruna. The transaction raised suspicions that the real owner of the share was actually her father Oldřich Přikryl, who at the time was subject to enforcement and faced insolvency proceedings.

According to available information, Přikryl had also traded in weapons in the past through the company Altop. Although criminal complaints were repeatedly filed against him, he was never charged and continues to operate businesses.

The AKTU.cz editorial team is currently also reviewing documents from the English Companies Register, according to which Přikryl, in order to continue criminal activity, allegedly placed fictitious persons into companies in the United Kingdom and the USA, transferring responsibility to them. In both countries such conduct is considered a criminal offense and can lead to an unconditional prison sentence.

In the past, Přikryl is said to have maintained contacts with the then Zlín police director Bedřich Koutný. These ties still raise questions about how Přikryl managed to evade criminal liability.
AKTU.cz therefore calls on all victims who lent money to Oldřich Přikryl and have not had it returned to contact the editorial email: redakce@aktu.media.
