Scottish Prosecutors Seize Bitcoin In Landmark Robbery Case
According to Cointelegraph, Scottish prosecutors have seized 23.5 Bitcoin from a man involved in a 2020 robbery, marking the first instance of cryptocurrency seizure in the country. The robbery, which took place near Glasgow, involved three men armed with a machete and a Toblerone chocolate bar breaking into a home. This case, initially heard last year, was notable for being the first in Scotland to involve tracing stolen cryptocurrency, according to Detective Inspector Craig Potter from Police Scotland’s Cyber Investigations unit.
