Odaily News: Tomáš Jiříkovský, the main defendant in a Czech cryptocurrency money laundering case and a programmer linked to darknet operations, has for the first time signaled possible cooperation with investigators. The Brno Municipal Court ruled to keep him in custody, citing flight risk and the possibility that he still controls undisclosed crypto assets.

Prosecutors said Jiříkovský has changed his stance on darknet market operations and laundering of criminal proceeds, but has not yet provided detailed testimony. Prosecutors are seeking a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and asset forfeiture. The case involves his donation of $44 million worth of Bitcoin to the Czech Ministry of Justice.
