PRAGUE (Reuters) - Police have charged former Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas with bribery in a scandal that brought down his centre-right cabinet last June, local media reported on Tuesday.

Necas, who has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, resigned after police raided government offices on suspicion that he had bribed three parliamentary deputies to quell a rebellion among his back-benchers.
