Political influence and governance scrutiny
ČEZ was criticized and investigated in public reporting over alleged influence on Czech politics, relationships with lobbyists and political-party financing. A Czech court required the state-controlled company to disclose information concerning political activities. These allegations and debates concerned governance and influence rather than a finding that every reported claim was proven.
