Timeline

1969

Stanislav Gross (30 October 1969 – 16 April 2015) was a Czech lawyer and politician who served as the prime minister of the Czech Republic and leader of the Czech Social Democratic Party from 2004 until 2005 when he resigned as a result of his financial irregularities.

1989

After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, he became a member of the Social Democratic party and in 1992 member of the parliament.

1992

Gross was Member of the Chamber of Deputies (MP) from 1992 to 2004.

1993

After studies in law from 1993 to 1999 he obtained an academic title, although under less than normal conditions.

His thesis had a mere 33 pages.

2000

He previously served as minister of the Interior in cabinets of Miloš Zeman and Vladimír Špidla from 2000 to 2004.

On 5 April 2000 he was named interior minister in the government of Miloš Zeman.

2002

After elections in 2002, Gross continued as interior minister and became deputy prime minister in the government of Vladimír Špidla.

During his service, several scandals in the police had leaked out: corruption among the highest officials, irregularities in business tenders and failure to solve serial murders.

Gross claimed that this was due to a better ability to discover such behaviour within the police force.

Gross was also criticized for installing his friends and allies as executives in state-owned companies and for misuse of secret services for political aims.

In spite of these problems, Gross was able to maintain higher popularity than other politicians (his peak came in at over 70%).

His youthful, photogenic appearance, skills in dealing with media and unwillingness to get involved in controversial decisions or discussions helped.

2004

In the 2004 European election, ČSSD lost badly and the popularity of the party was low; this led to the resignation of Špidla on 26 July.

Gross was appointed prime minister on 4 August 2004 and his government was approved on 24 August.

Gross was seen by his party as the last way to regain popularity and better handle future elections.

This was proved wrong; in elections for regional assemblies and Senate elections, the Social Democrats failed again.

Gross claimed he would modernise the party on lines similar to those followed by Tony Blair, but his short time in office and constant involvement with scandals did not give him any time to implement changes.

His popularity started to decline, and his involvement in further allegations of nepotism, police corruption, suspicious dealings in state privatisations accelerated the decline.

2005

In early 2005, Gross faced a scandal related to unclear origins of the loan to buy his flat.

It was found that his wife was a business associate of a brothel owner who was later sentenced for insurance fraud to five years in prison.

Criticism from the media and record public dissatisfaction grew into a government crisis.

For three months, Gross tried to keep himself in power until he was forced to resign on 25 April 2005.

His popularity sank to a record low, and trust in politicians among Czech people was shattered.

In September 2005 Gross stepped down from his remaining position of party leader.

The reason was growing suspicion about corruption involving Gross during the sale of the chemical conglomerate Unipetrol to the Polish state-owned entreprise PKN Orlen.

Gross denied all accusations as an absurd conspiracy against him.

After leaving the world of top level politics Gross started to work for the Law Office of Eduard Bruna.

2006

Between April 2006 and January 2007 he served as the chairman of Security Commission of the Social Democrats (bezpečnostní komise).

The media had occasionally speculated about his influence on decisions made within the Czech police.

2007

In September 2007, the economics weekly Euro published information that Gross and his wife bought up to a 31% stake in the energy company Moravia Energo.

The value of the stake was estimated to be worth about 300 million CZK.

The journal calculated that the banks would provide at most two-thirds of the sum and the rest was thus paid by Gross.

When this information was published Gross refused to provide details to the press on grounds of privacy.

2008

By June 2008 Gross successfully sold his 31% stake for 150 million CZK, his original purchase price was 21 million CZK.

The whole deal was very curious and was investigated, but it was quickly found to be a legitimate business deal according to the Czech Police.

On 18 March 2008 he failed the bar exam, but later passed it and opened a private law practice.

Gross was student of the Charles University in Prague and later was awarded his law degree by the University of West Bohemia at Plzeň.

2015

Gross died on 16 April 2015 at the age of 45 from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Born in Prague, Gross briefly worked for Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) as an engine-driver trainee.
