TechFlow news, August 15 — According to Decrypt, the Czech Republic's National Center against Organized Crime took action on August 15, arresting Tomas Jirikovsky in connection with a case involving a donation of approximately $45 million (about 468 bitcoins) made earlier this year to the Ministry of Justice. Prosecutors said the investigation has now shifted focus toward suspected money laundering and illegal drug transactions.
Previously, the unidentified Bitcoin donation led to the resignation of then Minister of Justice Pavel Blazek. Subsequent audits revealed that the Ministry of Justice should not have accepted the funds due to their potential links to criminal proceeds.
