A Czech criminal investigator has sent a scathing letter detailing severe criticism of the police system before his apparent suicide. The investigator, whose identity has not been released, expressed profound disillusionment with the institution he served.

In his letter, he articulated a refusal to remain part of a system he believes is fundamentally compromised. He described it as being largely controlled by "liars, cheats, and traitors" who prioritize personal gain and maintaining their positions over the true mission of the police.

The investigator further elaborated on the perceived flaws within the system, noting that mistakes are often punished exemplarily while good work is frequently overlooked. He lamented a situation where "paper and statistics decisively win over the real mission of the police," indicating a disconnect between performance metrics and actual law enforcement effectiveness. The letter paints a grim picture of internal corruption and a loss of integrity within the police force.
