the developer of Tornado Cash, Alexei Pertsev, will continue to serve time in prison under a Dutch court order.
the last two months he spent in jail after being found guilty of laundering $2.2 billion.
Pertsev's lawyer said that the court and prison did not allow him access to his computer, Internet and data.
On Friday, a Dutch court refused to release Tornado Cash developer Alexei Peltsev, who was convicted of money laundering in May. According to his spokesman, the Dutch appeals court in Hertogenbosch ruled that Pertsev should be arrested.
his lawyers, Keith Chen and Judith de Boer, argued that he was not a flight risk and needed access to a computer and the internet to prepare for the appeal proceedings.
Keith Chen said: \\"The court said that his continued detention will not interfere with the preparation of his defense. However, the defense disagrees.
detention is unacceptable in a case involving such fundamental legal issues [...... ]. This unprecedented case addresses the issue of when software developers can be held criminally liable for unauthorized use by third parties.
{nJudith de Bourgh. {n That is precisely why the Pertsev defendants should be allowed to wait and prepare an appeal.
At last month's hearing, Cheng said he proposed 18 points to prepare an appeal, including a requirement that Pertsev have access to a computer to process the request. However, Cheng was surprised when Pertsev's request for release from custody was denied. He had already made a request to the prison where Pertsev was held, but it was also denied.
I asked the warden to provide me with a good computer, unlimited Internet access, the use of special software and digital equipment, including external storage media, Cheng told DL News.
