According to Foresight News, a Dutch court has denied the bail application of Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev. He will continue to serve his sentence while awaiting an appeal trial. Pertsev's defense lawyers, Keith Cheng and Judith de Boer, have stated that Pertsev will not abscond and he needs internet access to prepare for the appeal trial.

Pertsev was arrested in the Netherlands in August 2022. Another Tornado Cash developer, Roman Storm, is set to stand trial in the United States in September.
