🚨🤯 Bitcoin Donation Scandal Shakes the Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Did the State Launder Millions Unknowingly? A donation of 468 bitcoin to the Ministry of Justice from a convicted drug dealer has unleashed a scandal in the Czech Republic, leading to the resignation of Minister of Justice, Pavel Blazek.
Blazek stated that he was unaware of any illegal conduct related to the donation. The received tokens were auctioned, allowing the state to gain an economic benefit from the sales.
While Blazek has repeatedly claimed that there is no evidence linking these funds to illegal activities, critics have pointed out that the Czech Republic could be involved in illicit transactions by auctioning these funds.
Alena Schillerova, head of the ANO parliamentary group, emphasized that the minister helped launder money for a known drug dealer. However, Blazek stated that even if it is proven that the funds were obtained through illegal means, the state would have confiscated them in the future. He reiterated that he saw nothing unethical in accepting these bitcoins.
