Is unauthorized access to a computer system always a criminal offense in the Czech Republic?

Yes. Unauthorized access to a computer system or data network is criminalized under Section 230 of the Czech Criminal Code, regardless of whether any data was stolen or damaged.

Can Czech Police seize my devices if I am suspected of cybercrime?

Yes. Czech Police can obtain a judicial warrant to seize computers, phones, and storage devices. We can challenge the lawfulness of the seizure and any subsequent use of the data as evidence.

I am accused of cybercrime but the alleged offense happened in another country. Can Czech courts try me?

Czech criminal jurisdiction can apply if you are a Czech national, if you acted from Czech territory, or if the victim is Czech. Cross-border cybercrime cases require careful jurisdictional analysis — we advise on this from the outset.

Cybercrime is one of the fastest-growing areas of Czech criminal law. Offenses including unauthorized access to computer systems, online fraud, data theft, distribution of malicious software, and non-consensual sharing of intimate images are actively investigated and prosecuted by Czech Police's specialist cybercrime unit (NCKB).

Cybercrime cases are technically complex: the evidence is often digital, the alleged offenses may span multiple jurisdictions, and the legal analysis requires understanding both the technical facts and how they map to specific criminal provisions under Czech law.
