Reply to comment by yourwifes3rdboyfrend in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

Now that the value has fallen do they need to pay the government 300k euros? Once the payment is settled there should be no back and forth, the value changing two years later should not be relevant. I also wouldn't expect the government to say "Hey you owe us 80k more euros because we decided to hodl and it turned out the value fell."
