For german plebs, this is something to keep an eye on ... 👀 "Die Linke" raised 25 questions about the "Handling of seized crypto assets by the law enforcement authorities" to the german government, which got answered last week. Unfortunately the PDF with the answers isn't available yet, but this will be interesting, as a lot of Bitcoin and privacy related topics are supposed to be covered. https://dip.bundestag.de/vorgang/umgang-mit-sichergestellten-kryptowerten-durch-die-strafverfolgungsbeh%C3%B6rden/315048

The PDF is available by now (link below), but unfortunately this turned out to be a nothingburger: The government did not really answer most of the questions — either with reference to the responsibility of the individual state authorities or for “tactical investigative reasons”, as the disclosure of the information could jeopardize the success of future measures. https://dip.bundestag.de/drucksache/auf-die-kleine-anfrage-drucksache-20-12631-umgang-mit-sichergestellten-krypto-werten/275929 nostr:note1d3kuap0wcw3dh8d0904hp4wggry6phe0lgx4zcsgs6g7gh7wlrxse3ggyc
