MEXCTornado Cash Developer To Be Released, TORN Price Skyrockets 20%
Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev will be released from jail by authorities. He was detained by the Netherlands authorities in August after the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) imposed sanctions on the crypto mixing service.
According to sources, the Dutch court has approved some relief for Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev. He will remain under house arrest with an ankle monitor and surveillance from next week.
Alexey Pertsev has been in pre-trial detention since August, with no formal charges presented so far. The crypto community is disappointed with the detention of developer Pertsev and even protested against the authorities. Earlier, a panel of Dutch judges denied bail due to flight risk.
The next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, April 21, and further investigation is on May 24. Alexey Pertsev’s lawyer Keith Cheng seeks to challenge prosecutors’ allegations that Pertsev and others ran Tornado like a business rather than merely publishing code.
