Czech Bitcoin Scandal Spirals Into No-Confidence Vote
The Czech Republic's main opposition party, ANO, has initiated a no-confidence vote against the government, citing corruption linked to a $45 million Bitcoin transaction involving convicted criminal Tomas Jirikovsky. The Justice Ministry sold nearly 500 Bitcoin, prompting ANO to demand an investigation into the transaction's authorization and the legality of the Bitcoin's origin. Justice Minister Pavel Blazek resigned amid the scandal, asserting his departure was to protect the government's reputation. Eva Decroix has been appointed as the new justice minister and will oversee an independent investigation into the matter. In related news, Argentina's President Javier Milei faced scrutiny over his endorsement of a cryptocurrency, while former US President Donald Trump is under investigation by Democrats regarding his crypto dealings.
