The Road Transport Inspection has issued its own Internal Anti-Corruption Programme on the basis of the General Departmental Internal Anti-Corruption Programme of the Ministry of Transport, ref. no. MD-69237/2025-060/16 of February 2026 (approved based on Czech Government Resolution No. 567 of 23 July 2025). This document follows the mandatory structure laid down by the Ministry and is binding on all civil servants and other employees of the Road Transport Inspection.

Key prerequisites for a healthy anti-corruption environment and successful combat against corruption in administrative authorities consist in measures which ensure meticulous adherence to the code of conduct, its enforcement and development within said public authorities and their operational transparency.

Pursuant to Sec. 77(1)(t) of Act No. 234/2014 Sb., the Civil Service Act, civil servants are obliged to adhere to the code of conduct issued via civil service regulations. For civil servants assigned to the Road Transport Inspection, the Civil Service Regulation of the Chief State Secretary No. 3/2023 of 3 October 2023 on the Rules of Ethics of Civil Servants applies. . The said civil service regulation is available here.

The civil servants assigned to the Road Transport Inspection and its other employees are also bound by the Code of Conduct for Employees of the Road Transport Inspection. Said code was approved on 14 April 2026 and is available here.

Based on the General Departmental Internal Anti-Corruption Programme, the Road Transport Inspection publishes a summary of consultants (i.e., natural and moral persons, including attorneys-at-law and law firms), advisory bodies and their members whose services have been engaged in the previous year, no later than 15 February.

Natural persons who execute administrative activities pursuant to Czech primary legislation are not encompassed within the scope of consultants. Furthermore, collective bodies established by Czech primary legislation or based on an employment or civil service relationship are not encompassed within the term either.

The contractual or negotiated unit remuneration and the total amount of remuneration actually paid for the given period are stated for natural persons only if the person has provided consent to their publication pursuant to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).

Contacts for reporting alleged corruption

If you suspect the commission of a corrupt or other criminal conduct, it is suggested that you file a criminal complaint with the investigative and prosecuting bodies, specifically with the Police of the Czech Republic, or the Public Prosecutor’s Office, for only the said authorities are competent to assess the conduct with respect to accomplishment of the elements of an offence.

For selected offences, a statutory duty arises for persons to report criminal conduct to said authorities. If said duty is breached, the failure to prevent an offence pursuant to Sec. 367 of the Czech Criminal Code, or the failure to report a crime pursuant to Sec. 368 of the Czech Criminal Code, constitutes a criminal offence which is punishable by imprisonment for up to 3 years. In cases of corruption, the criminal offence of bribe taking pursuant to Sec. 331 of the Czech Criminal Code, or the criminal offence of bribe giving pursuant to Sec. 332 of the Czech Criminal Code, may be committed in particular.
