#️⃣ In the Czech Republic, programmer Tomáš Jiřikovský has been detained, having already served time for creating the darknet marketplace Sheep Marketplace. This time, the case concerns his bitcoin donations to the country's Ministry of Justice.
After being released from prison in 2021, he attempted to reclaim seized equipment, including a laptop with a bitcoin wallet that held about 1560 BTC. The case stalled in court until March 2025, when Jiřikovský donated 468 BTC (30%) from the confiscated assets to the government through his lawyer.
🔴 The corruption scandal has already led to the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Justice, Pavel Blažek.
