“A daring armed attack on businessman Evgeny Chernobaev occurred in the center of Prague around 07:00 p.m. local time.

According to eyewitnesses, Evgeny’s car was blocked by attackers using a black Mercedes Vito minibus at the crossroads of streets Zlatnická and Na Poříčí. Two people got out of the minibus, and threatening with weapons forced Evgeny to open the car doors. The businessman tried to provide physical resistance, after which about 5 shots were fired, presumably from a gun. The criminals pulled the bag and the diplomat out of the businessman’s car. Then they disappeared on a minibus in an unknown direction.
Doctors of the central hospital in Prague assess the businessman’s condition as extremely serious, an ambulance arrived at the crime scene quickly enough, but due to deep bullet wounds, Evgeny lost a lot of blood. Three bullets were removed from the body of businessman Evgeny Chernobaev by surgeons at the central hospital in Prague, one of which severely damaged the right lung. After many hours of surgery, the businessman’s condition is still critical.
Investigators are considering several versions of the assassination attempt, including those related to the professional activities of the victim. According to one version, the attackers knew that the businessman would move around the city with a satisfied large amount of money, which allowed them to carefully plan their attack. Forensic officers continue to work at the crime scene.
