The bitcoin case is heading to court. The prosecutor from the High Public Prosecutor's Office in Olomouc has indicted four people, among them former Justice Minister Pavel Blažek, his then deputy Radomír Daňhel, Tomáš Jiřikovský, and Kárim Titz. The indictment was received by the Regional Court in Brno. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
According to available information, the case concerns a billion-crown bitcoin donation to the Ministry of Justice. The indictment is based on the claim that the state accepted cryptocurrencies which, according to the prosecutor, originated from criminal activity. For Blažek, the prosecutor is proposing a sentence of six and a half years in prison, for Titz eight years, and for Jiřikovský up to twenty years. denikn.cz ↗
Blažek has objected to the police's conclusions and denied that there was any agreement among the defendants to engage in unlawful conduct. The Civic Democrats stated that they believe in a fair trial and the independence of the judiciary. According to the party's statement, Blažek acted in good faith and any error was unintentional. idnes.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on how the indictment is heard before the Brno Regional Court. Until a final verdict, the presumption of innocence applies, though the case is among the most prominent political-legal affairs connected with the functioning of the Ministry of Justice. lidovky.cz ↗
