Ladislav Vrabel’s anti-government demonstrations a year ago attracted tens of thousands of people. Supporters sent him more than a million crowns to organize them.
Vrabel collected them from the account of his Serbian wife, Bojana Vurdelja, because he owes millions for a long time, so the contributions sent by supporters to his account would be confiscated by the insolvency administrator.
However, the tactic of using his wife’s account no longer works for Vrabel. The court has now rejected Bojana Vurdelj’s lawsuit against insolvency administrator Martin Koubek, who is also requesting the release of four gold bars for 170,000 due to Vrabel’s debts. The wife claims that the gold bought last year is not hers, as one ingot belongs to her and the other three were bought for her mother, who lives in Serbia for a long time.
However, the court did not believe such a construction. Among other things, because Vrabel’s name is on the invoices for the gold and that his name is also mentioned in the note for part of the payments that were made from his wife’s account. In the case of the last ingot, in addition to the name Vrabel, the word “demonstration” is also mentioned in the note.
“It gives the impression that this piece of ingot was purchased from the donations of the debtor’s supporters, which the debtor called for on social networks,” wrote judge Eva Veselá in the judgment, in which she rejected the lawsuit of Vrabel’s wife.
“In a situation where it follows from the supplier’s communication that all orders were made by the debtor through an e-shop order, the debtor’s person appears as the customer on all tax documents, in payment confirmations and on the receipt of cash payment, so everything indicates rather for the fact that the ownership of all the ingots passed from the supplier to the debtor, not to the plaintiff (or her mother),” states Judge Veselá’s judgment, which is available to Nauzal.
The lawyer hung up the phone
In addition to the stated reason, the verdict states that, according to the court, the plaintiff was not at all entitled to claim three bars instead of her mother.
At the same time, the court ordered Vrabel’s wife to pay 14,000 crowns for court costs.
But Bojana Vurdelja has the possibility to appeal against the decision. It is not clear whether he will do so. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the client’s permission to comment on anything,” stated attorney Jiří Kuďousek, who represents her, and immediately hung up the phone. He then repeated his statement in an SMS.

31.1 gram gold bar made in Switzerland.
Insolvency administrator Martin Koubek will now demand from Vrabel’s wife the gold bar that she identified as hers. “She should release it or release the equivalent in money,” Koubek said.
At the same time, he tries to write to Vrabel’s mother-in-law in Serbia to inform her that he also demands the other three remaining ingots.
Session on the network
Ladislav Vrabel responded to the court’s decision by broadcasting on Facebook. He claimed there that he wanted to establish a commission to investigate crimes against humanity. And that he wants to bring before her, among other things, the judge who “convicted his wife”.
The indebted organizer of the demonstration has a second experience with the České Budějovice court. He canceled his debt relief and stated that he was dishonestly avoiding paying his obligations.
Ladislav Vrabel has another problem with the police. In October, she accused him of fraud with covid subsidies with damage of 1.7 million crowns, for which he faces up to eight years in prison. Bojan Vurdelja’s wife and her mother figure in this story as well.
As Nauzal previously found out, Vrabel cashed subsidies from the state on behalf of companies registered to his wife, for which he acted as an executive. Among other things, he asked for support for a stand by the Vltava built in black. It stood on a plot of land registered to Vrabel’s Serbian mother-in-law. She issued a confirmation that Vrabel was paying her rent of hundreds of thousands for it, which the state then compensated. But the police officers found fundamental irregularities in the applications for subsidies.
What Ladislav Vrabel owes
- Vrabel owes 2.7 million crowns. Even before he entered insolvency, he had 27 foreclosures.
- The state is also among the creditors, because Vrabel, for example, has not paid the insurance for twenty years, from which the Czech Republic pays people’s pensions.
- VZP has not paid health insurance since 2000.
- He didn’t even pay the fines for driving in the dark on České Budějovice public transport, some from 1999.
- He did not repay the loan from Komerční banka, he did not pay the fees for garbage cans or electricity.
- He also owes 200,000 to billionaire Karl Janeček, who transferred the debt to his foundation. Even with interest and fines, the amount climbed to over 400,000.
