According to Cointelegraph, Czech Justice Minister Pavel Blazek has announced his resignation on May 30 after controversy over the sale of bitcoin donated by a convicted criminal in his department.
The Ministry of Justice previously announced on social platform X that it had obtained about 1 billion Czech koruna (about $45 million) by auctioning nearly 500 bitcoins. Later, Czech news outlet Denik N found that the bitcoins came from Tomas Jirikovsky, the convicted operator of the dark web platform Sheep Marketplace.
In March, Jirikovsky's lawyers offered to donate a third of Blazek's bitcoin, but Blazek accepted the donation without fully investigating the source of the funds. The police have launched an investigation into the origin of the bitcoin.
