The Czech Minister of Justice is leaving. In the background a great gift of bitcoins from a criminal

The Czech prosecutor's office initiated an investigation in this case. Blažek said that he decided to give up, even though “he was not aware of any illegal actions.” “Nevertheless, I do not want to harm the reputation of the government and the ruling coalition,” he wrote on Twitter.

The minister had previously claimed that he did not see a problem in taking a gift, because there is no evidence that bitcoins were obtained in a criminal manner. According to the Czech media, the gift came from a convicted drug dealer.
