According to ChainCatcher, the main opposition party in the Czech Republic called for a vote of no confidence on Thursday, accusing the government of corruption in a $45 million Bitcoin payment from a convicted criminal. Alena Schillerova, vice-chair of the right-wing ANO party, posted on X on Thursday that her party felt they had "no choice" but to submit a no-confidence motion, which is scheduled for a vote on Tuesday.
The Czech Ministry of Justice stated on May 28 that it sold nearly 500 bitcoins at auction for 1 billion Czech koruna ($45 million). These bitcoins were obtained from Tomas Jirikovsky, who operated an online black market and was convicted in 2017 for corruption, drug trafficking, and weapons violations.
