27 One of today's most important departments in the national bank is the foreign exchange department. To this day, in this department, for many years, people, freemasons, have been acting as really anti-German and galvanic elements. The head of this department was until his escape to hostile foreign countries, which took place a few weeks ago, i.e. 5 full months after the arrival of the Germans in MALIK Prague only, Director Ing.

He also had his hands in the matter of GUTTMANN. Also the emigration of the Jews together with the fraud carried out with it was in his hands. Apart from FILIPP, he was still involved in Oberdir. PEROUTKA and Dr. VANEK /Rotarian/. The secretary of the escaped was and is still today × Dr. Joh. KozAK, a Jewish friend of the worst kind and intimate of his superior MALIK resp. now FILip.
