Tomáš Jiříkovský, the main defendant in a Czech cryptocurrency money-laundering case tied to darknet activity, has for the first time indicated he may cooperate with investigators. A court in Brno ordered that he remain in custody, citing flight risk and the possibility that he still controls undisclosed crypto assets. Prosecutors said Jiříkovský has changed his position on allegations tied to the operation of a darknet market and the laundering of criminal proceeds, but has not yet provided detailed testimony. They are seeking a prison sentence of up to 20 years along with asset confiscation. The case also involves a Bitcoin donation worth $44 million that he made to the Czech Ministry of Justice, according to Bitcoin.com News.
