Prosecutors stated that Jiříkovský has changed his stance on the operation of dark web markets and the laundering of criminal proceeds, but has not yet provided detailed testimony. The prosecution is seeking a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and asset forfeiture, with the case involving his donation of Bitcoin worth $44 million to the Czech Ministry of Justice.
