Prague, Czech Republic (Apr 26, 2005)
Prime Minister Stanislav Gross resigned yesterday after weeks of political crisis sparked by a scandal over the financing of his luxury apartment.
Gross first said he financed it with the help of a mortgage, but later said he borrowed money from his uncle. The Czech news media later reported that his uncle had borrowed the money from a journalist he barely knew.
