The man spent in custody for about 24 hours. Carron said that his release took place after surgery of friends from the UAE, Great Britain, the USA, Europe and Argentina. According to the detainee, even the Catholic Church came to the rescue, and some of his acquaintances directly turned to high -ranking Turkish officials.
Carron claims that the Minister of Internal Affairs of Turkey Ali Yerlikaya accused him of “helping other persons for illegal use” of the etherium and instrument to ensure confidentiality.
The developer suggested that the charges are connected with his research work, published in January 2022. It is devoted to confidentiality issues, Ethereum and Cryptomyxer Tornado Cash. Carron insists: neither he nor co -authors of work helped anyone engage in illegal activities – they only investigated the properties of cryptomixers.
Carron has already flew to Europe. Despite his liberation, the case in Turkey has not yet been closed. The developer’s lawyer said that he still does not have a complete picture of what happened.
As a sign of solidarity, Carron donated $ 500,000 to the Tornado Cash Developer Fund for the developer Tornado Cash on the air. The storm is accused of promoting money laundering through cryptocurrencies. Carron called the legal protection of the storm, as well as all developers of open software, very important.
Last week, the Court of the Southern District of New York found Roman Storm guilty of charges of operating Tornado Cash as an unlicensed money transfer service.
