[UPDATE] Robert Van Damme Finally Being Extradited To The Czech Republic For Whatever Crime He Was Convicted Of There

Law enforcement from the Czech Republic has been trying to get their hands on gay-for-pay porn star Robert Van Damme for over two years now, and thanks to some help from the U.S. Marshals, they’ve finally got their man. [UPDATE: Details on Van Damme’s crimes in the Czech Republic below.]

Robert Van Damme’s Facebook (via Queer Me Now):

I have sad news for all RVD fans Robert will be taking a break from his career to go back to Czech Republic and take care of some legal issues. Robert has been convicted of a crime in Czech in absentia. A Czech Judge issued international warrant and Robert has been arrested by US Marshals in Atlanta Airport on July 25, 2012. Czech law is written from 1961 which was during communist regime, the law is written that Czech judicial system can convict a person In absentia, meaning they can convict a person without that person being present to defend themselves which is in violation of natural Justice.

Without speculating (there have been plenty of rumors over the years, but ICE never released the Czech records), the fact that Van Damme was hunted down at an Atlanta airport and is now being extradited with the help of U.S. Marshals should give you an idea of how serious the crime is that he’s been convicted of.

Meanwhile, Van Damme’s new American wife (not the first one who had him arrested for beating her two years ago and then started the rumors about his legal troubles in the Czech Republic) sent a message to Queer Me Now:

At this point in time Robert asked to be extradited from Georgia to California where he lives and he will most likely sign the extradition paperwork back to Czech where he will reopen the case and be present to defend the charges against him. […] At this point in time what we will miss for sure is seeing Robert perform in front of the camera. But as we all know him; nutrition freak, workout guru and trainer so we all know he will use this time behind bars to get in better shape than ever before. So when he comes back it will be worth the wait!

Something to look forward to! (Assuming Van Damme ever gets out of his Czech prison cell.)

UPDATE:

Thanks to commenter “J2,” who is better at finding Czech Republic news websites than I am, we now have details on what Van Damme was convicted of. In 1999 and 2000, Van Damme (legal name Robert Kovarik) was a member of a nine-man gang of thugs that committed multiple armed robberies. One of Van Damme/Kovarik’s robbery victims was shot in the head and chest.

Published on “New Express” in 2004 (before Kovarik’s conviction), and translated from Czech into English:

Damage for nearly eight and a half million crowns to cause eight men who were at the Regional Court in Brno interview from robbery and theft. They face for up to twelve years in prison. The ninth defendant, Robert Kovarik disability pension (35), is on the run. “[He] is the organizer of the crime. We have evidence that lurks in America, “said prosecutor Jaroslav Kubes.

The defendants deny guilt. Some even refused to testify, told police the next few sentences in his defense. They are judged on freedom. The list of works, from which the plaintiff nine men accused in the indictment took several pages. The first act was to be robbery, which took place 9th January 1999 in Prostejov. Kovarik, salesman Peter Vlcek (36), entrepreneur Roman Zemanek (37), unemployed Rudolf Ulrych (41), entrepreneur Gino Patrik Galeta (30) and driver Mark Lipold (27) BMW dammed dark path of the truck. Driver (61) is forced to stop the arms, dragged him out, put it in the trunk of a truck with HIS jeans for 1.7 million stolen. That’s what the prosecutor contends.

Among the defendants is a police officer Jaroslav Šincl (37). That according to the applicant gave a tip in January 2000 Peter vendors Wolfy (36) that the three men robbed a house, car, shop and workshop. They stole a BMW and other things. The loot was worth over a million crowns. Šincl is accused of theft, criminal damage and abuse of public office. There is for him to ten years in prison.

Four men – Kovarik, Vlcek, David Zemanek unemployed and Zach (36) – the third had March 2000 ambush mail car in Olomouc. “The driver Jiri Svoboda (58) shot in the head and chest. Caused him grievous bodily harm. Seized cars with € 2.3 million,” said plaintiff robbery. After this act of transporting a policeman wounded in the night Šincl Vlcek in a service car, even if just at that time was investigating the assault according to the applicant the mail car. According to him the same amount stolen Kovarik, Vlcek, Zemanek, Zach and Charles Menyház (42) in April 2000 when attacked by the Kremlin Prostějov Paul (44). “He pushed the car into a ditch, and forced him to leave, saying, Gimme the money! ‘Forced him to lie on her stomach. The car stole briefcase with an amount of 2.3 million crowns. It is the money they intended to steal, “said the prosecutor. Robert and Peter were also two to commit theft. The stores in Olomouc Plumlov and alienated in April and July 2000 542 000 for tools and two bikes in a million.

The indictment is based on the secret testimony of several witnesses. There are also recordings of wiretapping telephone conversations between the defendants. Wiretapping phones were heard in the courtroom, where they showed how to plotting to attack Paul Kremlin, which transported money (2.3 million dollars) to buy a family house.

As of this update, Immigration and Customs Enforcement locator says that Kovarik is not in their custody, which means he’s either still with U.S. Marshals or he’s already been extradited. And as of this morning, someone (presumably Kovarik’s current American wife and business partner—without whom he would never have been allowed to stay in this country the past two years) was still operating Robert Van Damme’s Twitter account.

Good morning! And: good riddance.

  1. What a bunch of PATHETIC QUEENS, living up to every negative gay stereotype out there, laughing it up because the guy who wouldn’t sleep with you for free is in trouble.
    What do you think YOUR behavior says about YOU?
    I’m glad that I’m “only” bi, and never have to actually come into contact with gay males, unless absolutely necessary(usually for work-music production), because you are, as a group, truly, worse than obnoxious women, on every level.

  2. The guy is obviously never going to step on U.S. soil again. You don’t have the US Marshal arrest you in an international airport for shop lifting. If he wasn’t guilty of anything and it’s obviously a serious charge, why didn’t he return to Czechoslovakia to defend himself??? He’s been hiding out in the U.S. for over 10 years now. I think any innocent person would want to clear his name. I’m sure we’ll find that even though he was convicted in abstentia the conviction will stick. Lucky for him that the most time they can give you for murder is 10 years. I’m surprized he’s actually been able to stay in the country as long as he has without being extradited.

    As far as being a professional hockey player in his home country??? I guess they don’t pay professionals very well if a supposed straight guy who had to resort to sucking cock and taking it in the ass to make a living?? His whole gay for pay line is bullshit. If he can stay hard while he’s inside another man’s ass….he’s GAY!!!!!!!

    What he does have going for him is that he’s a in great shape and he’s good looking….but that’s about it!!! How many other good looking guys are there out there that don’t have to resort to sucking cock and taking it in the ass to make a living???

    As far as his last wife….she must be a f**king moron with no self esteem. She’s great at makin excuses for him. For example…..”I don’t mind that he sucks cock and takes it in the ass, it’s just a job. It means I get to spend more time with him”….get a f**king life. How ignorant can you be???? He must be a great role model for his kids. Shit…the fact that he has children is a scary thought. I wonder how his wife introduces him to her friends…..”Hi, this is my husband Robert, he sucks cocks and fucks guys in the ass for a living. You already know me, I’m his dumb ass wife.” His prior wife must have been a piece of work as well but at least she finally got out and probably made a few dollars before she did.

    When he gets out at the ripe old age of 65, if he still stays in shape, he may still have a few more years behind the camera if his dick hasn’t fallen off by than. Unfortunately he won’t be getting paid in prison for sucking cock or taking it in the ass. He’ll have plenty of time to practice though. I guess it doesn’t really matter if he’s filming in Czechoslovakia or the U.S., he can always sell his films online.

    The country is much better off with one less douche bag on our soil….good riddance!!!!

  3. *Update* Robert is laughing at all this! For those that know and love them you can just picture the smile as he says! OMG no he wasn’t hiding ever and just to prove it Robert is on a $50,000 cash bond with Immigration/ICE and attended all court dates. He had court scheduled this week. All the US Marhsalls needed to do was show up at court and arrest him. There was no good reason to arrest him on his way home from Florida with a stop in Atlanta. No he did not shoot or kill someone, lies all lies. The actual Czech conviction will be posted on his facebook as soon as we have it available.
    Robert Van Damme Productions website, video sales, twitter account and facebook will remain in operation during Robert’s absence. Please see attached Statement from Robert Van Damme Productions EST 2010 on Robert Van Damme’s behalf.

    I have sad news for all RVD fans Robert will be taking a break from his career to go back to Czech Republic and take care of some legal issues. Robert has been convicted of a crime in Czech *In absentia. A Czech Judge issued international warrant and Robert has been arrested by US Marshals in Atlanta Airport on July 25, 2012. Czech law is written from 1961 which was during communist regime, the law is written that Czech judicial system can convict a person *In absentia, meaning they can convict a person without that person being present to defend themselves which is in violation of natural Justice.
    Robert has tried to hire attorney in Czech to take care of his *In Absentia conviction from here in California but Czech law does not give him the option. It is impossible to reopen the case in Czech without Robert being present. Interesting, you can be convicted of a crime not present but you must be present to reopen the case? The extradition law is giving Robert the option to sign the extradition papers and go back to Czech or don’t sign and stay in US hold. At this point in time Robert asked to be extradited from Georgia to California where he lives and he will most likely sign the extradition paperwork back to Czech where he will reopen the case and be present to defend the charges against him.
    Robert and Robert Van Damme Productions has a team in place that will be taking care of DVD sales, movie rentals and his website during his absence. Robert’s website will have the same maintenance team in place and will be adding never seen before video and picture updates and content throughout Robert’s absence.
    At this point in time what we will miss for sure is seeing Robert perform in front of the camera. But as we all know him; nutrition freak, workout guru and trainer so we all know he will use this time behind bars to get in better shape than ever before. So when he comes back it will be worth the wait!
    For friends or fans, Robert’s Facebook and twitter will remain operating, look for updates on Robert’s situation there and feel free to send messages to Robert via his email at robertvandamme@gmail.com or by message on Facebook.

    *In absentia is Latin for “in the absence”. In legal use, it usually means a trial at which the defendant is not physically present. The phrase is not ordinarily a mere observation, but suggests recognition of violation to a defendant’s right to be present in court proceedings in a criminal trial.In common law legal systems, conviction of a person in absentia, that is, in a trial in which he/she is not present to answer the charges, is held to be a violation of natural justice. Specifically, it violates the second principle of natural justice, audi alteram partem

    Hey females who produce/direct Men.com?? Can we have Johnny Rapid play RVD’s beaten-n-raped-out wife next go around? Maybe RVD can smash a Samsung against JR’s skull in “I Told You Stupid Bitch, I Ain’t Goin’ Back!” Available 2022

  5. Considering that Robert Van Damme’s primary job was being a hooker, I wonder how he was able to stay in the country as long as he did after being arrested for domestic violence as well as the charges against him in the Czech Republic.

    Though he doesn’t have a criminal record, I wonder the same thing about Arpad Miklos whose primary source of income is from prostitution and doesn’t have a non porn job.

  6. So he robbed people in the Czech Republic? Big deal. Who cares? He is too HOT to be extradited from the United States. I mean really, have you seen the gay porn stars today? This guy is chiseld good looks and body. He can rob me and use me anytime. I will go on a hunger strike until he returns.

  7. Wasn’t he also a professional and comparatively famous hockey player or something? Kind of difficult to be that and an armed robber at the same time – surely someone would recognise him. Or was that just a story?

  8. Hello? Most of these straight guys that do gay porn are shady hustlers. What the hell do you expect? LOL. The gay for pay american guys with Baby Momma’s blowing up their phones when they are on set, calling non stop. And the European straight guys that do gay porn are suave because they look less trailer park trash and have better bodies and prettier faces. They both sweet talk the directors and flirt with them. It’s hilarious. THEY actually make the directors feel special, and that is why they get hired. Then they get on set and are demanding,uncomfortable, and visibly disgusted-yet the directors make the GAY performers do ALL the work all while coddling the straight guy. The european gay 4 pay models at least are much less drama, unless they are over roided. But when the shoot is over, most directors still love the straight guys better and are WAY more forgiving of them. It is some masochistic bullshit.

  9. LOL. OMG this is funny. He committed a crime in 1999 and just got convicted in 2010. He has been an international escort and porn performer for as long and they couldn’t find him? Oh Lawd. I just can’t.

  10. What better place to hide out than gay-porn whoo’s gonna be looking for you in gay-porn Robert Van Damme is not the first criminal mind to try to hide out in gay-porn.There was another guy who did it but I forgot his name he was a str8 white guy I think from Alabama but he ended up getting arrested for his crime of murder I think it had to do with the murder of some peoples or family.If my memory serve me correctly he tried to do gay-porn but every time a guy would touch him he loose his erection? That’s is about as much as I can remember about the story or case.

    1. girlfriend of a gay pornstar

      why not? its just a job that actually provides more time for my boyfriend to be with me. And he’s hot! He does go to the gym a bit much and won’t eat fast food with me – but his job is safer than police officer/army/fireman/etc. I love him, he treats me great and makes me happy. Isn’t that what’s most important in life? HAPPINESS!

    1. It takes two minutes flat to go to news.google.cz and search for his name. I don’t think any of us read and comment on gay porn blogs because we think it’s a productive use of our time, but it’s no worse than someone spending their downtime watching TV or something.

  11. When he was arrested a few years ago, his occupation was listed as “escort”. I doubt he will be able to come back into the United States very easy the next time around.

  12. Robert was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment for series of armed robberies and mugging. The sentence was pronounced in 2010 and since that he was on the run.

    1. “Clear up the legal mess”?! You don’t get Marshals comin’ after your ass for unpaid parking tickets. If the rumors are to be believed, Van Damme is a VIOLENT and DANGEROUS individual. Good riddance. And I hope INS bars him from reentering the country, but it looks like he’s got some stupid female to give him a green card/marriage visa.

      1. I don’t think he will ever be allowed to reenter the United States once he is extradited back to the Czech Republic even with the green card marriage. The current Mrs. Van Damme is also editing his wikipedia page.

  13. Straight couple that works in gay porn together.. stays together:)

    I did a good search and he seems to have a long list of problems with the law. Is he being wanted for murder in Czech republic? Is that is the case, he will have a lot of time to work out and be on the best shape ever an come back at the age of 78. :(

    1. Not really, the longest prison sentence in Czech Republic is 25 years and is very rare. I guess that even for murder he would get maximum of 10 years…

  14. Well at least he will come back “in better shape than ever” so maybe it is all for the better! Maybe we should throw ALL G4Pers in jail so they can work on those “prison sculpted bodies”??

  15. What a nice wife to provide all that helpful information and promote her husband’s career having sex with me. What a wonderful world.

    1. Disgusting!
      What a desperate woman to be with such a pathetic man! They deserve each other! Even though I know she’s dating other men while he’s away!! Such a Joke!
