Techub News reported that DL News quoted sources as saying that a Dutch court refused to release Alexey Pertsev, a Tornado Cash developer who was sentenced for money laundering. He is currently preparing to appeal. A spokesman for the Court of Appeal in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, revealed that Pertsev will continue to be detained. His defense lawyers Keith Cheng and Judith de Boer argued that Pertsev would not abscond and that he needed to go online to prepare for the appeal trial.
