A 22-year-old man from Teplice wanted to earn money in a simple way without much effort. He faces a year in prison for this.

He was offered by an as yet unknown perpetrator that if he had financial sums of unknown origin sent to his account, he would receive 10 percent of the total amount.
The young man agreed to this, but somehow it did not occur to him that the funds that went into his account came from criminal activity of a fraudulent nature.
According to the police, the person in question covered the source of the unknown offender and made it difficult to find the money.
“A total of 277,000 crowns landed on his account, which were withdrawn by other unknown persons from ATMs in Prague. The young man then received his share in the account. The case came about during the unraveling of another criminal activity involving fraud involving investments in cryptocurrencies,” said the police spokeswoman Ilona Gazdošová.
The police did not prove the man’s intent. He was therefore accused “only” of criminal negligence and faces up to a year behind bars.
